The Green Wardrobe program by Ed2Rise is a 7-day experiential learning journey designed for high school students who want to understand the fashion industry while exploring sustainability, innovation, and ethical practices.
This isn’t a lecture-based course.
It’s hands-on, immersive, and built to show students how fashion can be both creative and responsible.
