What do we fund?

This project aims to build a network of schools working on Fair Trade in Catalonia. The aim is to raise awareness of the favourable impact that responsible fair trade consumption has for everyone.

The Fair Trade Schools Network is coordinated by Alternativa3 and receives the support of the Catalan Agency for Development Cooperation and the collaboration of the Spanish Fair Trade Labelling Association.

The project offers you:

• A common working framework in which you will feel part of a collective project.
• Support materials with practical guidelines for the implementation of the different actions.
• Work proposals, specific resources and technical support.
• A permanent telephone and telematic information service.
• Regular communication through a fortnightly e-newsletter and the web.
• Courses, exhibitions, seminars and training workshops for teachers, AMPA's, monitors...
• Personalised and continuous technical and pedagogical advice.
• Dynamisation of working groups.
• Exchange of experiences.
• Awareness-raising material.
• To be part of a network of centres working to promote responsible consumption.

The project includes several awareness raising activities that will be organised in the school. In each activity, various aspects of Fairtrade can be worked on within the same curriculum of the school.

The creation of a Fair Trade Solidarity Council, made up of different members of the educational community (students, teachers, Ampas), will bring awareness-raising actions closer to the entire educational sector.

A project that is adapted to each centre, achieving a continuity of networking, to encourage Fair Trade to become part of our daily lives.
