I am a teacher of high school students at St. Stanislav’s Institution in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
47 of them participated in a lesson about globalisation and fair traide.
Here are some of students’ most interesting posts about this lesson and subject:
– It would be fair that poor people would get more.
– I think it is necessary to realize that we play a big role in this retail chain. With our purchases, we support various companies that treat their workers unfairly.
– We were talking about bananas and sales.
– Interesting, I agree that we shiuld change this.
– I think the trade should really turn towards better conditions and wages for the workers.
– It seems to me that workers should have better conditions. This does not mean a much higher salary, but only a salary high enough for a normal life and a healthy working environment without exploitation.
– Interesting and eye opening.
– I think plantation workers are underappreciated and underpaid. People should be more aware about plantation work.
– Interesting solutions to problems.
– This topic is interesting and we should talk more about it.
– With globalisation of markets, first and weaker chain links get smaller profit, which is not fair.
– I think this topic is very important, because we need to stand up for justice.
