Breadalbane Academy, fair trade fashion show

Project aims

• To develop knowledge and understanding of the world and Scotland's place in it.

• To link with the Aberfeldy Traidcraft Group during One World Week (October), presenting an event that raises awareness in the school and community.

• To promote fair trade by raising the profile of organisations like Traidcraft, People Tree, Bishopston and TearFund who, in turn, promote a fairer system of trade for producers, particularly those in developing countries who are powerless to help themselves.

• To encourage a greater awareness of the real impact of buying fair trade goods and promoting local businesses that sell fair trade goods.

• To encourage links and work closely with parents and the wider community.

• To build pupils’ confidence and self-esteem.

• To create a platform to showcase pupils’ design work from art and design courses, their musical talent, hospitality and enterprise skills.

• To develop courses that raise awareness of fair trade, global citizenship and enterprise. The S2 Project and Hospitality Access Course outcomes are incorporated within the wider event of the fashion show.
