Schools Action Guide (low res) - The Fairtrade Foundation

Have
fun
Learn
You already know how a focus on Fairtrade fits into subject areas like Geography, Citizenship,
Religious Education and others, and you tell us about learning activities you do across the
curriculum at all ages. And here’s a great reason to focus on Fairtrade in Art or Design lessons.
This Fairtrade Fortnight, bring Fairtrade to life through art!
6 Schools Guide to Fairtrade in 2013
Creating an eye-catching work of art is
a brilliant way to grab people’s attention
and create a talking point – including
in the media – and it’s a fun way to get
lots of people involved too.
Get everyone in the school
community to collect wrappers
from Fairtrade products and use
them to make a collage, sculpture
or picture to display in school.

Go further for Fairtrade: get creative
Everyone in school could write their
pledge for Fairtrade, challenge the
school to go further, then create and
display all their pledges.
Why not use the Go Further
postcards to highlight Fairtrade
products, events or activities in
your school? Or use your school’s
sculpture to ask local stores or
MPs to Go Further for Fairtrade?
Then take a photo of the artwork
and upload it to our gallery, to
join thousands of others across
the UK calling for fairer trade.
And of course there will be money-can’t-buy
prizes for the entries we think get the go further
message across in the most effective and
original way! Your school’s group could even
win a school lunch cooked by celebrity chef
and Fairtrade campaigner Levi Roots.
