However, many fashion design educators are struggling with cultural and ethical issues, etc. to conduct with multiple stakeholders, and how they teach students (Get z) the process appropriately and successfully. In this workshop, participants exercised 'Co-design as CBPR' with four activities towards integrating systematic and successful co-design processes in fashion design education.gn education.
