The aim of the study is to show football friends at a glance how fair the fan shops of their favorite clubs are already in their assortment.
We were interested in the following questions: Does my favorite club rely on the fairest possible production because they are aware of their responsibility? Does he want to actively contribute to improving working conditions in the global production facilities of our sportswear? How transparently does he report it?

Short description:
Clothing is often of great relevance to students. But what does it mean when clothes in shops cost only a few euros? And how can we help to reduce the climate impact caused by the production and use of our clothing?
There are many points of reference for the topic of clothing in the classroom. Questions about social justice, globalization and equal opportunities open up very different professional perspectives. In order for these issues to find their way to schools as part of education for sustainable development, teachers are in demand as multipliers.
This action manual is intended to encourage teachers to open up scope for action for students, to become active themselves and to help shape their own future. For this purpose, this action manual offers a number of tips and inspirations for actions inside and outside the classroom as well as worksheets for implementation.

Inhumane working conditions, gender-based violence and discrimination, tons of textile waste – the negative impact of the clothing industry is not sustainable! As activists of the present and decision-makers of the future, students have the opportunity to work for a socially just and ecologically sustainable clothing industry. How? This action manual shows that. It should encourage you to become active as a student or student initiative and to help shape the future of the textile and clothing industry. For this purpose, the Action Manual offers a number of tips and inspirations for actions on and around the campus as well as guidelines for implementation.
The aim of the study is the life cycle-based eco-balance assessment of a commercially available white cotton T-shirt, which is worn, washed and disposed of in Germany. The focus is primarily on the environmental effects of the use phase, which are calculated exclusively on the basis of the laundry care procedures. The wearing of the T-shirt and possible environmental effects (e.g. loss of fibres) resulting from it are not covered by the studies.
