Abstract: Abstract This paper shares the motivations, intentions, operations and outcomes of the first Data for Sustainable Fashion Certificate course developed by Glasgow Caledonian New York College (GCNYC) and Fashion Revolution USA bringing sustainability experts across academia, activism and industry together and which first ran as an online synchronous delivery in Winter 2022. The paper explores how the team co-designed a 3-part course to deliver impactful, interactive sessions for current fashion professionals working in a variety of functions across Europe, Asia and North America. Our collaborative classroom provided a rich and vibrant space a community of practice (Wenger, 1998), within which sustainable fashion advocates could investigate and interrogate the sustainable fashion landscape. By developing data literacy and understandings as to data’s use in supporting policy development as well as designing powerful internal and external data-rich communications to help move the needle on sustainability in their own areas of work.
