Convert your School
As well as positive benefits for producers, becoming a Fair Trade School has positive benefits for the school too in a number of ways it:
- Brings positive publicity for the school, and shows that the school is serious about social responsibility and responsive to its staff and students;
- Raises awareness of the issues of global trade, consumerism and trade justice;
- Engages students to be active citizens petitioning and campaigning for change;
- Improves staff morale as staff they are contributing to supporting poorer communities with every cup of coffee or tea;
