“A hands-on workshop for my Year 2 children, they got a real sense of ‘fairness’ in enjoyable child focussed activities. The workshop proved a brilliant way to kick-start our research into Fairtrade and global issues.” Archibald Primary School – Teacher Feedback
Through games, debates, workshops and presentations to discover about life as a banana farmer in Colombia, participants develop their speaking and listening skills; are able to talk about their opinions and explain their views. Students will also develop their sense of social justice and moral responsibility; recognising the role of voluntary, community and pressure groups.
