We are delighted to announce that over 50 schools in Cumbria have joined the thousands across the UK that are committed to supporting Fairtrade and making a difference.  The Fairtrade Schools Award recognises schools that embed learning about Fairtrade in their teaching and learning, and empowering children to take action to promote Fairtrade and social justice

​

This has come about partly through the activities of Cumbria Development Education Centre with whom Cumbria Fair Trade Network works in partnership, and partly through the excellent relationships which Cumbrian Fairtrade groups have established with their local schools.
