Guide to Toolkit for Trade Justice
Toronto Trade Justice Network Presents:
Toolkit for Trade Justice
The Toronto Trade Justice Network has compiled, updated and tested the best workshops out there on Trade Justice issues. Based on this research we have created a four-part workshop series: Toolkit for Trade Justice. This series is invaluable learning opportunity for those engaged in teaching, advocating and lobbying in this field.
What is Trade Justice?
Trade Justice seeks to establish more equitable trade relations through dialogue, transparency & respect. Trade Justice should be based upon fair remuneration and fair rules, and most importantly a democratic process.
Participants:
These workshops are geared toward upper level highschool students and community groups -such as faith-based groups, but could be used groups as diverse as corporate audiences.
Workshop Synopsis: Toolkit for Trade Justice
Workshop 1 - Debt & the Cycle of Poverty
This first workshop is an Interactive role-play on IMF, third world debt, structural adjustment and International trade.
Workshop 2: The Structures of Trade and the Ethics of Trade – Free and Fair Trade
Using bananas and coffee as an example, an interactive negotiation, presentation and discussion will address what's free and what's fair in the exchange of our commodities.
Workshop 3 - Subsidies and Trade Agreements
We focus on the recent collapse of the WTO talks to explore how global institutions and agreements have an immediate affect on our everyday lives and the lives of the producers.
Week 4 - The Chain of Production and Labour Conditions
This workshop looks at where and how our clothing is made and asks: what does fair or unfair labour look like?
The workshops and accompanying educational booklets can be downloaded in the googledocs box.
