The Journalists' Journey through the World of Garments by Südwind Agentur, Austria, is a board-game that enables learning about the garment industry in a playful way. The game takes students, as journalists, on a research tour to different countries and illustrates parts of the garment production process. Players visit organic and conventional cotton plantations, tour dyeing factories in India, interview seamstresses in Central America, visit European design metropolises and second-hand clothing markets in Ghana.
