24 July 2021 Saturday Family Programme – It’s not Fair!
Overview
Have you ever thought about the farmers who grew the beans that made the coffee or chocolate you love? What are their challenges? Are they paid a fair wage? Through the story of the coffee bean, we explore Fair Trade and the stories of producers, how we can support ethical consumption and create opportunities for those in need.
The fair trade programme includes a Coffee Bean Game and Fair Trade shop tour.
