Ethical Fashion Show
High School
Did you know that many of the clothes you buy are produced in factories where workers are paid poor wages and work in sweatshop like conditions? Some of the clothes may have even been produced through the use of child labour. But there is an alternative!

Fair Trade In Your School
Middle YearsHigh School
Schools are at the heart of any community, and because of this they have a very strong influence and voice within their particular community. What better way to spread the word about fair trade and promote it within the broader community than to get the fair trade movement into your school!

Fair Trade Sports Balls
Middle YearsHigh School
Did you know that it takes 690 stitches to make a standard Size 5 FIFA soccer ball? This is very intricate work, so often it is done by children sometimes as young as 4 years old. However, there are now fair trade sports balls that are made by workers in cooperatives who have been paid a fair living wage, have access to clean drinking water & facilities with proper ventilation, and who are NOT child labourers.

Workshops In Your School
Middle YearsHigh School
Want to bring global issues into your school and classroom in a fun, engaging, and interactive way? MCIC offers workshops to schools, which can be presented to individual classes, or the entire student body. Some of our workshops work best when presented to small groups, so in that situation we may ask to run the workshop a few times so that everyone walks away feeling more aware and informed than they previous did!
