Celebrating those who have Pledged to Practice Fair Trade Learning Principles

The Collaborative invites all CBGL educators to commit themselves and their organizations to practicing Fair Trade Learning principles. These principles require CBGL educators to work toward partnerships that exhibit common purposes, leadership from those who are most affected, protections for members of vulnerable populations, ethical representation, and more.

Since 2019:
160 CBGL educators have signed our individual pledge
50 organizations have signed our institutional pledge

The following people recently joined the Collaborative's network by committing themselves to partnership building that exhibits FTL characteristics. We applaud them for recognizing that while several of these commitments might be challenging, they see the their importance in pledging to work with other network members to achieve them in their CBGL context and beyond.
