Please join Global Exchange's National Valentine's Day of Action: 3,500 for Fair Trade!!!
Last year, educators nationwide educated 3,300 kids about Fair Trade through Global Exchange's National Valentine's Day of Action.
This year, will you help us reach 3,500?
Plus, you can win a Fair Trade gift worth $75, by starting to teach the curriculum anytime before Valentine's Day!!!
Why participate???
- Cover teaching standards using a subject kids love...chocolate!
- Global Exchange published a fabulous new unit in December 2008.
- By Teaching kids how they can personally make a difference in the world through the products they buy, you are starting them on a lifetime of socially and environmentally conscious consumerism — as well as educating them about the importance of supporting their peers overseas.
- Teachers who teach the curriculum in time for the National Valentine's Day of Action will be entered into a prize drawing to win over $75 worth of Fair Trade chocolate and educational materials!
- The first five new participating teachers will receive, free of charge, a small bag of real Fair Trade Organic cocoa beans to show students during the curriculum
