This blog belongs to the Master students in Textile Management at the Swedish School of Textiles, University of Borås. Primarily, the second year students, as part of their program, embark on a field study - as interns at companies in different parts of the world, as research assistants to research projects performed at University of Borås or as individual field study projects, to fulfill their quest for new knowledge.These entries represent their experiences and reflections.

Summary of my field study
During these 10 weeks I have learned incredible much about textile production and about a material that was new to me: jute. During 4 weeks, I stayed in Bangladesh and I met and discussed with local suppliers and manufacturers how it is possible to achieve a nice looking end product in the most sustainable way. I have also drafted a Code of Conduct document and learned more about the different provisions that govern workers' rights and how fashion companies work with these issues today. All in all, I couldn't have asked for a better learning experience and I am sure that I will get use of these experience in my future career.
