What we do

Fair Trade Learning is global educational partnership exchange that prioritises reciprocity in relationships through cooperative, cross-cultural participation in learning, service, and civil society efforts.

It foregrounds the goals of economic equity, equal partnership, mutual learning, cooperative and positive social change, transparency, and sustainability. Fair Trade Learning explicitly engages the global civil society role of educational exchange in fostering a more just, equitable, and sustainable world (Hartman, Morris Paris, & Blache-Cohen, 2013).
