Fairtrade Fortnight 2021

 Over the past two weeks we have been talking about Fairtrade Fortnight and what Fairtrade is and why it is important.

Fairtrade Fortnight is an event that happens every year where lots of people from schools, businesses and other places come together to show their support for the farmers and workers in developing countries who grow our food, drinks and grow the cotton in our clothes. Sadly, farmers in other countries are often underpaid and exploited.

 

Exploited means making someone work in an unfair way to make more money. Farmers in developing countries work extremely hard to produce our food and they get very little money for what they do. The food then gets shipped over to our country and sold in markets and supermarkets at a higher cost.

 

Do you think this is fair or unfair?

How can we support farmers in developing countries in a fair way?

By choosing to buy Fairtrade products, you are helping to improve the lives of many families and this is fairer for everyone!

Here are some pictures of our Nursery and Year 1 children supporting Fairtrade!
