How to run the project?
In previous years our school teams have spent 3 months working with our mentors to research, create and then stage their couture Trashion collections at the annual Youth Eco Summit at Sydney Olympic Park to a packed audience of their peers. We support staff, screen films, and organise the mentor workshops. As an adaptation to the Covid-19 era we have decided to focus our efforts by working exclusively with the award winning Nepean CAPA high school to create a digital event which will stream through the Department Education website across NSW. What will happen in 2021 no-one knows, but we can promise a spectacular trashion experience in November 2020.
