It was an enjoyable afternoon and hopefully raised the profile of Fairtrade with all of those present. Our pupils were recorded and you can listen to this discussion on Rainbow Turtle’s podcast.

Three S3 pupils, met local MPs Mhairi Black and Gavin Newlands to discuss Fairtrade. The pupils were able to exhibit that Gryffe supports Fairtrade and also explain some of the Fairtrade events that have taken place this year, along with future events. The pupils also asked the MPs questions based on the Sustainable Development Goals. Shaun asked how we hold UK companies accountable for their riches abroad. Charlotte asked how we can encourage UK businesses to sell and stock Fairtrade products and Mhairi was put on the spot by Eve who asked her how she was going to use her influence to promote Fairtrade.
