Fair trade. Two small words that could change the world. Behind the FAIRTRADE Mark we find a movement that has challenged governments, companies and consumers to change the way we think about trade and to ensure that producers receive a fair deal. The Youth for Fair Trade Resource Pack is a global youth work resource. It has been designed for youth workers to help them connect young people to the key values of fairness and equality; to explore what fair trade means to them; and to support them to take action to make the world a fairer place. This resource pack has been written by Y Care International as part of Coventry Cathedrals' Youth for Fair Trade Project. The project and pack have been funded by the UK Government Department for International Development.
