The title of the course is Sustainable Fashion and it focuses on sustainable business models for the fashion industry.
Targeting students and practitioners alike, the course centers on a practical introduction to sustainable business model theory and a wide variety of inspirational examples from the industry. The course contains expert interviews, animations and case examples from Denmark as well as abroad. |
