Facilitated by the Community-Based Global Learning Collaborative in partnership with Child Family Health International, and co-hosted by Georgetown University's Center for Social Justice Research Teaching and Service
Interested in learning more about the theory that shapes Fair Trade Learning (FTL) and better understanding how to apply it? Join this half-day to delve into examples of how FTL is being applied and how it can be adapted to your program(s), polices, practices and strategy. Open to all community-based global learning educators.
Most host communities that receive international volunteers and service-learning students would like to continue doing so, but under better terms. Fair Trade Learning principles offer practices that “prioritizes reciprocity in relationships” and “foregrounds the goals of economic equity, equal partnership, mutual learning, cooperative and positive social change, transparency, and sustainability” (Hartman, Morris Paris, & Blache-Cohen, 2013).
How do the current principles of FTL speak to the current moment and how might they need to be reanimated? We will ask participants to come with a program, practice, policy or strategy case study from their context that we can workshop together. This interactive workshop will be led by Sam Brandauer, Collaborative co-director and Carolina Bolaños Palmieri, Director of Programs at Child Family Health International -- the Collaborative's hosting organization.
