Workshop on Inequality at Xarxa Escoles pel Comerç Just (Schools for Fair Trade Network)

Another way in which we at AlterNativa3 can do our bit is through the project Fair Trade Schools Network.

During the first week, we have carried out one of the activities programmed for the new school year. Specifically, we have travelled to the Pont Trencat School of Santa Maria de Palautordera, where the whole teaching staff participated in the Desigualtats Nord-Sud" workshop"given by SETEM Catalonia.

In the workshop, the teachers carry out a reflectionThe dynamic of the project focuses on the unjust relations and exchanges between the countries of the North and the South, which generate inequalities global, poverty e insecurity food to many populations in the South. They have also been able to see how Fair Trade is a fair and transformative alternative to this reality.

The aim of the teacher training is to provide teachers with basic tools on the causes of inequality between the North and the South, the principles of Fair Trade and responsible consumption, so that they can work on these issues in their subjects and thus transfer the knowledge and skills of the teachers to the students. knowledge to the students. In addition, in the website In the project, they can find different resources, dynamics and activities to be carried out in the classroom.
