The GENERATION FUTURE educational program, in partnership with The PVH Foundation and PVH Corp. [NYSE: PVH], was launched last year by the Fashion Council Germany to provide students with exceptional educational opportunities. Since its launch last summer, numerous diverse secondary schools across Germany have been visited. To date, approximately 1,900 students have participated in the program and subsequently had the opportunity to test their newly acquired knowledge. From all the completed tests, 24 students with the best results were invited to the "Fashion Future" conference this November, which the Fashion Council Germany is organizing together with The Prince's Foundation at the foundation's Dumfries House estate in southern Scotland. There, they will have the opportunity to delve deeper into fashion and connect with like-minded students from across Germany.

Thematically, the teaching units were divided into three main areas: the environmental impact, the social significance, and the diverse career opportunities within the fashion industry. The Fashion Council Germany received support from diversity and sustainability experts for the teaching materials, including Carina Bischof, Co-Founder and Chairwoman of Fashion Revolution Germany; Dogukan Nesanir, freelance stylist and consultant; and Nina Lorenzen, Co-Founder of Fashion Changers. In addition to the classroom lessons, five webinars were held online for students to attend. These webinars also focused on the environmental and social impact of the fashion industry, as well as career opportunities for prospective trainees and high school graduates.

The following experts participated in the project together with the Fashion Council Germany and contributed their experience: Ariane Piper (activist, sustainability officer and country coordinator at Fashion Revolution Germany e. V.), Carina Bischof (managing director & board member of Fashion Revolution Germany e. V.), Dogukan Nesanir (freelance stylist & creative consultant), Janice Faith Heinrich (junior editor of Daddy Magazine), Kemi Fatoba (founder of Daddy Magazine & Consultancy), Martina Glomb (fashion designer & design professor), Michael Pfeifer (co-founder & CEO of MOOT), Michaela Leitz (CEO & founder of Michaela Leitz Confidence & Style), Nina Lorenzen (co-founder of Fashion Changers), Sema Gedik (founder of AUF AUGENHOEHE), Sydney Nwakanma (founder of EMEKA) and Thị Minh Huyền Nguyễn (freelance author).
