We see ourselves as ambassadors and therefore seek to raise awareness of Fair Trade issues in our surroundings, whether at school, at home or in our free time' (based on the demands made at the German Children's Summit in 2010). We will make sure that people around us (family, friends, associations...) buy Fair Trade products: in Artisans du Monde shops, retailers or supermarkets, in order to increase the demand for Fair Trade certified products and to spread this awareness. In addition to the fair trade aspect, we are also looking into whether it is possible to find these products in organic and regional.

The application must be submitted by a teacher. The application can also be submitted by a student or a parent representative, ONLY after agreement by the responsible coordinator or teacher.
