Fairtrade Sutton

Fairtrade for Schools Teachers Workshops

The Fairtrade Foundation is running an exciting series of workshops specifically for teachers who want to learn more about Fairtrade and how to include it in their teaching. The events provide the chance to share ideas and learn from other teachers as well as to ask all the burning questions to the Fairtrade Foundation. They aim to inspire and reassure those teachers that are thinking about applying for the Fairtrade Schools Award, those already working towards it and those looking for ideas for renewing their status. They also aspire to strengthen the knowledge of issues of trade and why Fairtrade is needed.

The London Workshop will take place next Thursday 13 May at the London Docklands Museum.
