Schools and Youth Groups

Citizenship is an integral part of the PSE programme for schools, and Fair Trade plays an important part in this programme. Teaching children about global trade can be done not only in the classroom, but also through tuck shops, fairs, workshops and other events.

There are plenty of opportunities and resources available to deliver this part of the curriculum, for more information please contact;
