Description

This activity consists of a musical workshop where, through songs from the album Karibu! - songs and dances for a fairer world, we will learn about the basic principles of Fair Trade and education for development, the importance of children's rights and the human values that underpin them. The workshop will be led by Carles Cuberes (www.carlescuberes.com), musician and entertainer, creator and composer of the songs.

The workshop is divided into three parts:

• First part: Introduction of the workshop, basic concepts of Fair Trade and presentation of the album of songs.
• Second part: Work, learning and rehearsal of the song (content, melody, structure...).
• Third part: Recording the song with the children. They will be given a CD with their recording.
