Fairtrade education

Fairtrade pioneers Traidcraft and The Fairtrade Foundation have this year partnered with teachers’ bible TES (Times Educational Supplement) to create a whole host of resources for school children.

From quizzes and games to assemblies and lesson plans, the Fairtrade duo have covered just about every angle. Taking the message into schools in this way should create long-term benefits, hopefully not just in Fairtrade but also in helping create a fairer society.

The resources can be downloaded following a free registration process at www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resources.
