Fair Trade
Learn how everyday choices can support fair working conditions and fair pay.
- What does a “fair price” mean?
- How do I recognise responsible practices?
- Examples: cocoa, coffee, bananas.
LEARNING BY PLAYING
Artificial intelligence and gaming connect knowledge with action for a more sustainable world.
At FAIRPLAY, we learn that every choice matters, from how a product is produced and reaches our plate, to how we store it and whether
we ultimately use it or throw it away. Through activities, quizzes, and an educational game, students and adults alike
become familiar with concepts such as Fair Trade, Healthy Nutrition, Food Safety and Food Waste Reduction in a simple
and understandable way.
We want learning to feel like an experience—one that gets people thinking, encourages participation, and shows that
small changes in our everyday lives can make a big difference.
