Green Gown Awards 2019 - London College of Fashion, UAL - Highly Commended

Better Lives is a dynamic blended unit (blended learning is a mix of online and face-to-face learning) delivered to 1,826 first year undergraduate students and involving 58 members of staff at London College of Fashion.  

Newly developed for 2018/19 it introduces students to the college ethos known as Better Lives, which is built around the themes of Sustainability, Diversity, and Social Responsibility. The unit embeds these themes into the thinking and creative practice of our students. They work as a collective to consider how they can become change makers in their respective disciplines which spans across fashion business, design and development and media and communication.  

The work they undertake during this unit will shape and disrupt their understanding of the wider world. Not only will they question and explore their practice during their time at LCF, they are also asked to consider how future environments they work and live in can be more sustainable, diverse and socially responsible. 

Top 3 learnings:

• We are teaching LCF students to be the change makers within sustainable fashion. 
• We are building community across London College of Fashion through our ethos of Better Lives. 
• We are planting the seed for students to reflect on sustainability throughout their studies.
