Assessment 3: Behaviour Change

Presentations due in class Wk 12 Wednesday 14 October (10%)

Report due Wk 14 through Turnitin by 11.59pm, Tuesday 27 October (30%)

CAMPAIGN BRIEF

Develop a behavior change campaign aimed at addressing a current sustainability
issue within the textiles and fashion industry.

In developing the campaign choose one of the following scenarios:

1. You are working for a large textiles/fashion organisation and advocating for
change internally

2. You are working for a large textiles/fashion organisation and advocating for

change externally (e.g. consumers)

3. You are working for an NGO, union or industry association and advocating for
change on a specific issue within the textiles and fashion industry

In developing your campaign, consider the following questions:

• Which organisation or group of organisations do you work for?

• What is the issue the campaign is addressing and why is this issue important
and of relevance to your organisation?

• What are the campaign’s aims?

• Who is your target market?

• What actions will comprise you campaign?

• How are you using theories of change to encourage engagement and buy-in

in the campaign?

• What are the campaign’s measures of success?

Remember – successful behavior change campaigns highlight both the problem
and solution.

Your topic must be approved by your lecturer prior to commencement.
