Why involve schools?

Around the 2008 theme for Fair Trade Fortnight, Environmental Justice, we have developed a number of resources with help from teachers of various age levels. These resources are new and will be useful to teachers who have an interest in teaching global topics. They fit perfectly within the new teaching curriculum, focussing on developing several key competencies.

Many schools already have a focus on the environment or sustainability and using the theme Environmental Justice will add a new and interesting angle to these very important subject areas.

We have developed these resources in the context of our Fair Trade Fortnight programme to enable schools to join in, but environmental justice and sustainability are of course themes with a long term focus. Therefore these resources will also be useful in years to come, and we will update them, based on feedback we get from teachers, to further improve our support to classroom activities in schools.
