Fair Trade Educational Resources

Students in the United States are connected to people across the globe in many different ways from the clothes we wear to the coffee we drink. As budding global citizens, students are expected to be aware of their connections with the rest of the world, and to take responsibility for the impact of their actions on human communities and the environment.

The Focus on Fair Trade Curriculum offers an accessible way to introduce students of all ages to the concept of global interdependence and citizenship, through an exploration of familiar foods produced outside the USA: chocolate, bananas and coffee. The curriculum includes engaging activities that help students to identify with the hard work of farmers around the world, and to develop interest in learning more about where their food comes from. The curriculum further fosters global citizenship as students learn to recognize and appreciate empowering consumer choices such as Fair Trade, which have a real impact on people around the world.
