Fairtrade Fortnight 2009
West Kirby Primary School ran a poster competition to encourage pupils to think about fairtrade and its impact on people in poor countries. The staff at Wirral Environmental Network judged the competition and Cheryl commented 'We found judging them inspiring, interesting and difficult as there were so many good posters. After much thought and debate we picked Mark Kattakayam as the winner. We thought the poster showed a good balance of artistic flair and relevant information.
West Kirby Primary is commited to becoming a fairtrade school knowing it helps guarantee a better deal for farmers and workers in the developing world and is an excellent chance for people to make a real difference whilst having fun.
Please ask us
