Fair trade
Description
Nikki Matthews is a maths teacher but she's now expected to teach global citizenship and has to tackle new subjects and a whole new approach to teaching. She takes on the subject of fair trade with her Year 8 tutor group. In lesson one she introduces them to the concept of fair trade through a board game in which the class take on the roles of producers in the developing world and the discussion which comes out of it. But fair trade is no longer confined to coffee and bananas, and in this film we find out about fair trade footballs and the people that make them in Pakistan. In the villages of Punjab, lives are being transformed through higher wages, free medical care, free education and small business loans - all possible through fair trade. We meet some of the young people whose lives have been changed and find out why fair trade matters. Nikki's class, moved and inspired by what they see, determine to get fair trade footballs into school and take citizenship into their own hands.
