FAIRTRADE SCHOOLS IN CUMBRIA
Making connections between local Fairtrade campaigning groups and the schools in their area is a great way to promote the values which underpin Fairtrade and trade justice.​
​Trade, climate and social justice, equity and empathy-building are at the centre of both Fairtrade and global learning and these connections between campaigners and schools present opportunities to talk with young people about where their food comes from, how they are connected to people in other parts of the world and the ways in which local actions and decisions can have a global impact.
