Deliver sessions on Fairtrade in Schools + Raise Awareness of Fairtrade with Students and University Staff
About organisation / project
Our Go Fairtrade Project is a campaign project, which aims to raise awareness and educate students, university staff and our local community about Fairtrade and the small actions they can take to support small-scale farmers in developing countries.
Details
The project was awarded a grant in 2025 to support project activities, which currently include:
- Delivering fun and creative sessions in primary schools to raise awareness of Fairtrade among our local youth population. Dates and timings of sessions in schools to be confirmed.
- Promoting Fairtrade products from Africa. The project has a particular interest in supporting farmers in Malawi by promoting and selling their Fairtrade products to students, staff and in the local community. Malawi is one of the poorest countries in Africa and the impact of recent cyclones has been devastating. Floods have washed away crops, over 500,000 people have been displaced and hundreds have lost their lives.
Volunteer with Go Fairtrade, get involved in a capacity that interests you and gain valuable campaign and educational experience.

Ynglŷn â'r sefydliad / prosiect
Mae ein prosiect Go Fairtrade yn brosiect ymgyrchu, sy'n anelu at godi ymwybyddiaeth ac addysgu myfyrwyr, staff y Brifysgol a'r gymuned leol am Fasnach Deg a’r camau bach y gellid eu cymryd i gefnogi pobl sy’n ffermio ar raddfa llai mewn gwledydd sy'n datblygu.
Manylion
Cafwyd grant yn 2025 i gefnogi gweithgareddau'r prosiect, sydd ar hyn o bryd yn cynnwys:
- Darparu sesiynau hwyliog a chreadigol mewn ysgolion cynradd i godi ymwybyddiaeth am Fasnach Deg ymhlith pobl ifanc lleol. Mae’r union ddyddiadau ac amseroedd sesiynau mewn ysgolion i'w cadarnhau.
- Hyrwyddo cynhyrchion Masnach Deg o Affrica. Mae gan y prosiect ddiddordeb arbennig mewn cefnogi ffermwyr ym Malawi trwy hyrwyddo a gwerthu eu cynhyrchion Masnach Deg i fyfyrwyr, staff ac yn y gymuned leol. Malawi yw un o'r gwledydd tlotaf yn Affrica ac mae effaith seiclonau diweddar wedi bod yn ddinistriol dros ben; Mae llifogydd wedi golchi cnydau i ffwrdd, mae dros 500,000 o bobl wedi colli eu cartrefi, ac mae cannoedd wedi colli eu bywydau.

We're looking for some more volunteers to help with our project!
Go Fairtrade is a campaign project aiming to raise awareness about Fairtrade and help support small-scale farmers in developing countries. We deliver fun and creative presentations in primary schools around North Wales. Although these primary schools are both Welsh and English speaking, speaking Welsh is NOT essential to join this project as our sessions are delivered in English as not all of our volunteers are Welsh speaking.
We begin sessions with a powerpoint presentation although it is not mandatory for you to speak during this if you're not comfortable with it and we try and include the children by asking them questions during the presentation and answer any questions they may have. Next is a short video for them to watch then they create a Fairtrade poster in small groups allowing us to walk around and talk to them more about Fairtrade and answer more questions then finish with a short multi answer quiz.
This project would be suitable for people wanting experience working with children, anyone wanting to help raise awareness for fairtrade, looking to become more confidence with public peaking or people who generally want to volunteer to do some good!
