Where Next for Fairtrade in Schools?
- 1. Where Next for Fairtrade in Schools? Katie Carr – Director, CDEC
- 2. Aims: • To introduce CDEC, what we do, who we are, our values • To update audience on the recent changes to the FT schools award • To introduce ‘The World from our Doorstep’ as an example of engaging very young children in learning about FT • To explore ‘where next’ in terms of ‘beyond logo recognition’
- 3. About CDEC Our vision is for young people to have the skills and confidence to be able to face the challenges of today, to develop understanding and respect other people and places, and to make informed choices that have a positive impact on society and the world around them.
- 4. Global Citizenship School Linking, with partners local and global Outdoor and environmental learning Diversity and multiculturalism Sustainable Development Fairtrade Pupil Voice and taking action Funded projects CPD / training Classroom resources Creative Classrooms

- 6. The 8 key concepts of the Global Dimension in schools (UK) are: 1. Global citizenship 2. Interdependence 3. Conflict resolution 4. Sustainable development 5. Diversity 6. Social justice 7. Human rights 8. Values and perceptions
- 8. • Teachers and learners can develop their knowledge of global issues, and of Fairtrade as a solution • Not just about learning ‘about’, children are encouraged to get involved and take action... • ...and understand that their small steps can really make a difference to people’s lives
- 12. The World from our Doorstep Project Aim – to raise the awareness and change the attitudes of young children towards development issues, and ensure they can take action to support sustainable ways of living Project themes – the concept of interconnectedness (local-global links), sustainability, and fairness (through Fairtrade) Participants – infant teachers, pre-school practitioners, teaching assistants and other adult helpers Methodologies and approaches – stories and artefacts, games, enabling critical thinking (P4C, Sustained Shared Thinking), links with local and international food producers and craftspeople

Notes de l'éditeur
- We will be working with 16 schools and EY settings in Cumbria, plus another 20ish in Bulgaria, Poland and Cyprus. One of the main challenges, in our experience, for teachers and practitioners delivering learning around these project themes is lack of confidence around exactly what i started this session talking about, that is, the complex nature of sustainability. So we have developed an introductory set of activities which we call the Practitioner Audit. The purpose of the audit is not to ‘test’ people’s knowledge, but to introduce the project themes, to present them as ‘contestable knowledge’ – what I mean by that is there aren’t necessarily any right or wrong answers.

- Sum up – open for questions to both of us.
