| Abstract |
Nikki Matthews is a maths teacher but she's now expected to teach global citizenship and has to tackle new subjects and a whole new approach to teaching. She takes on the subject of fair trade with her Year 8 tutor group. In lesson one she introduces them to the concept of fair trade through a board game in which the class take on the roles of producers in the developing world and the discussion which comes out of it. But fair trade is no longer confined to coffee and bananas, and in this film we find out about fair trade footballs and the people that make them in Pakistan. In the villages of Punjab, lives are being transformed through higher wages, free medical care, free education and small business loans - all possible through fair trade. We meet some of the young people whose lives have been changed and find out why fair trade matters. Nikki's class, moved and inspired by what they see, determine to get fair trade footballs into school and take citizenship into their own hands. |
| Abstract |
See how fair trade in the making of footballs in one town in Pakistan has given some of the workers better wages, access to free education and medical care. Six years ago 28 year old entrepreneur, James Lloyd brought fair trade to the world of football. Most of the world's production of hand-stitched footballs comes from one town in Pakistan. The introduction of a small worldwide market share in fair trade footballs gives a 20% premium back to the workers and has been used to improve wages, education and medical care. |
