They aim to inspire and reassure those teachers that are thinking about applying for the Fairtrade Schools Award, those already working towards it and those looking for ideas for renewing their status. They also aspire to strengthen the knowledge of issues of trade and why Fairtrade is needed. Register online from Fairtrade Foundation's website. Places are limited so book today! |
