A fundamental part of achieving Fairtrade status in Middlesbrough has been working in partnership with local schools. Pupils have learned more about the campaign for Fairtrade across the world and participated in projects designed to help them and the town they live in become Fairtrade.

In Middlesbrough, schools are promoting Fairtrade in a number of ways. Fairtrade                                                                                    refreshments are being provided in staff rooms and for meetings. Pupils are being offered                                                                                    Fairtrade goods in tuck shops and Fairtrade is being built into the curriculum. Some schools                                                                             plan specific events for Fairtrade Fortnight and at least three schools are working towards                                                                     Fairtrade Schools status, contact us to find out more.

In higher education, Teesside University has Fairtrade status, supported by the Students'                                                                                          Union who offer a range of Fairtrade products in their retail and catering outlets.
