CAFOD Visit

Thank you to Steve from CAFOD who came to deliver a workshop to Year 5 today, focusing on 'Global Trade', to support their learning in Geography.

Steve worked with the children to teach them about fair trade, drawing on examples from all over the world. Steve taught the children a 'trading game', using the production of shoes as an example with fictional currency, to show the different roles of money lenders, workers and business owners and how the distribution of profits is unfair.

We used this workshop to reinforce our learning about 'Fair Trade' and about the "Fair Trade" mark on products.

You can download resources and games to support learning about Fair Trade with your child at home here: https://cafod.org.uk/education/education-resources/fairtrade-school-resources
