Fairtrade Schools Award

Traidcraft's schools resources and activities, found in this section, can help you achieve goals 3, 4 and 5 of the Fairtrade Foundation's Fairtrade Schools Scheme.

  • Our school is committed to selling, promoting and using Fairtrade products as much as possible. If we have problems, we can at least show that we have tried and will continue trying.

  • Our whole school learns about Fairtrade In at least three subjects in each of two year groups.

  • Our school promotes and takes action for Fairtrade at least once a term in the school and once a year in the wider community. This way it becomes a regular part of what we do, and allows everyone to take part in helping to bring about a fairer world.
