Session 'Achieve with Fairtrade'
The session will look at how schools can:
• Use Fairtrade to raise achievement and ambition in school
• Learn about Fairtrade as part of the creative curriculum and to develop key skills
• Integrate Fairtrade with other learning, activities and awards in school to ensure meaningful learning about issues of trade, poverty and development
• Achieve the Fairtrade Schools Award - includes a case study from a local Fairtrade School and tips from an assessor
• Work collaboratively with Fairtrade campaigners to engage parents and members of the community.
Teachers, TAs and governors welcome to attend.
Local Fairtrade campaigners will be coming along- why not share a lift? A pre-training meeting for campaigners will be held. Please email Bridges for more information.
Schools are encouraged to bring along examples of Fairtrade work to share.
Refreshments provided.
