A Tartan for Clackmannanshire

We’re delighted to be working with the Provost of Clackmannanshire, Councillor Donald Balsillie, to launch a competition for learners in S1-S6 to design the county’s first official tartan

All the information you need to take part is on our FIDA online platform.  Taking part is simple and free of charge, and is open to learners who study at any Clackmannanshire secondary school, or who live in the county but travel to school in another area.  All you need to do is login (or register for a free account if this is your first time with us).  This will give you access to the online project.

Get Involved!

We are proud to have partnered with Sustainable Fashion Week to support their first ever event in September 2021. You can still take part in one or both of our creative challenges that launched on 13th September – Upcycling Jeans and Equilibrium.

We also hosted our own event, Fashion Forward – an online discussion forum with a panel of sustainable fashion pioneers. They included Amelia Twine, founder of Sustainable Fashion Week UK; Niki Taylor, Fashion Revolution’s country lead for Scotland; Cassandra Belanger, co-founder of international group Zero Waste Design Online; and Siobhan McKenna, founder of ethical fashion brand ReJean Denim.

Why not try one of our sustainable fashion Challenges! Any work you submit between now and October 22nd will be included in an online gallery we will share to showcase students’ work during COP26, the international climate conference in Glasgow.
