Schools News Fairtrade Fortnight Schools Roundup!
As well as 100’s of individual events, schools also created the Worlds Biggest Fairtrade Tablecloth, with over 85 schools contributing. The tablecloth was made from patchworks designed and created by schools across Wales, and was displayed at the Senedd during a tea party for politicians, to raise their awareness and commitment to Fair Trade. 3 schools attended to let the politicians know whey they care about Fair Trade, and as a result 22AM’s made a pledge to swap to Fair Trade. Schools Fly the Flag for Fairtrade  Fairtrade Flags have been launched in schools in Wales, to reward schools for their Fairtrade efforts. Schools who work with the 5 goals and achieve Fairtrade status, will be given a flag, if they are based in Wales. The flags are courtesy of the The Cooperative Cymru\Wales and were launched in North Wales, South Wales, Mid Wales and West Wales, in the following schools Ysgol Bryn Alyn in Wrexham, Machynlleth Primary School in Powys, Parc Lewis Primary School in Pontypridd, Ysgol Dyffryn Taf, Carmarthenshire. All Schools with status will be receiving the flags over the coming months.
For an up to date list of schools with status visit: http://fairtradewales.com/schools/who's_made_it_already/491 And to view School of the Month visit: http://fairtradewales.com/schools/school_of_the_month/925
Is your school ready for a challenge? World Fair Trade Day is on the 8th March, how about joining the Fair Trade rice challenge? Daudi Phiri a Malawian small holder farmer said that if he sold 90kg of rice in the UK, he could send one of his children to secondary school for a year. Just Trading Scotland, a newly formed fair trade company took this idea on board and asked schools and churches to sell 90kg each to help farmers in one of the poorest countries in the world. The challenge has captured people’s imagination so well that we are now selling our 2nd container load of rice bought directly from the farmer’s co-operative. Find out more about the rice challenge and how your school can order one by clicking here... Or contact Liam Tel: 0141 887 2882 Email: Liam@justtradingscotland.co.uk |

Jim’s Hot Fairtrade Tips!
Its great to see more + more Cadbury’s FT items hitting the shelves - buttons, giant buttons and different sized bars. It’s not just about Cadburys doing the right thing, it’s about the message of FT reaching everyone and getting them to buy into FT and its ethics! This month we (my family and I) did a cookie taste test (extra gym time for me!) - see below for the results:
Please mail me (jim@fairtradewales.com) your tips and let me know if you like Jim's hot tips, or if you don’t! I’m trying to cover other areas of Wales, as well as the South, so all you westerners and northerners, get mailing! Please excuse me if I: repeat tips, forget to include certain ones, or give outdated deal info (as many deals don’t give a date!) |
