Sometimes, the smallest acts can have big consequences. There is one small act we can all do which can have a big impact in the developing world. By buying Fairtrade products, we are ensuring people at the beginning of the chain are being fairly treated, unfortunately something that does not always occur. Many of us are aware of the Fairtrade Mark , but are not entirely sure what it means. We may know it’s something about being fair, and something about trading. However if we want to live in a fairer world, it is important that adults and children alike, grasp the full concept of what Fairtrade is all about. Fairtrade is a charity which ensures workers and farmers in the developing world receive fair terms of trade. It ensures decent working conditions and local sustainability for people who are vulnerable to the power of big companies.
What can we do to take part? In celebration of Fairtrade Fortnight (24th February to 9th March), TrueTube has produced resources to get young people thinking about this type of global injustice and emphasizes the main focus this year - Fairtrade bananas. An Assembly Script, PowerPoint presentation and film can be found on the website and provide the perfect focus point to start thought-provoking conversation amongst your students. We must not let young people in our schools become ignorant of the hardship and corruption across the world. Education underlines the very aim of what charities like this are trying to achieve. All of which, can start from an inspiring assembly. So go bananas, and get involved.
