Abstract: This study examines the impact of an educational intervention aimed at promoting responsible clothing consumption among pre-service teachers in Spain. To this end, a validated scale assessing the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of responsible consumption was administered to a sample of 164 primary school pre-service teachers, along with an open-ended questionnaire assessing their perceptions and consumption of second-hand and rented garments. Data were collected via an online questionnaire before (November 2023) and one month after the intervention (January 2024). Results show that the intervention is effective in increasing students' awareness and responsible consumption behaviors, as well as their perceptions of reused garments, but only by the group that combine theoretical lessons with real-world activities.
