The Fairtrade Schools campaign offers teachers the opportunity to concretely integrate sustainability into everyday school life and to illustrate how fairer consumption and trade alternatives can be implemented. Since 2021, Theresa Schopper, Minister for Culture, Youth and Sport, has taken over the patronage of the Fairtrade Schools in Baden-Württemberg to honor the commitment of young people to a fairer world.

For the Baden-Württemberg Development Cooperation Foundation (SEZ), it is important that students from Baden-Württemberg deal with questions of global justice, global connections and the consequences of their own actions for people in other regions of the world.

Over 1.000 participants at the SDG youth summit in Heilbronn

At the first youth summit in Heilbronn everything revolved around the topic of sustainable consumption.

“I hope this event is the beginning of something big,” said Philipp Keil, Managing Director of the Baden-Württemberg Development Cooperation Foundation (SEZ) at the opening. He said it was already “just after 12” with regard to the topics that have most concerned the students in the past few months – climate change and sustainability. The 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were present for everyone on both days of the event.

The focus of the youth summit on the Heilbronn educational campus was “Future Fashion”. The eight schools involved in the Future Fashion@School project supported by the SEZ had put together a wide range of workshops, panel discussions, lectures, dance, theater, a market of opportunities and much more. It was clear everywhere that the students of these schools were keen to make the topic known and take action against the grievances in the textile industry. They walked across the campus with large posters and loudspeakers to show visitors that it is time for change.

They appealed to those present to buy slow fashion, swap or repair clothes and showed that sustainability begins personally with each individual. So it became clear to everyone that the youth summit is not intended as an end, as Axel Schütz, teacher at the Friedrich-von-Alberti-Gymnasium Bad Friedrichshall and initiator of the event, emphasized, but should be an impetus for all schools to deepen this topic carry out further actions.

Five years of the Fairtrade Schools campaign

The Robert-Bosch-Gymnasium Wendlingen is the 100th Fairtrade School in Baden-Württemberg. At the anniversary celebration of five years of the Fairtrade Schools campaign in the New Castle in Stuttgart, the school received the award from State Secretary Volker Schebesta from the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Culture.

“I am pleased that more and more schools in the country are becoming Fairtrade schools and are using the cross-disciplinary and cross-school campaign,” said State Secretary Volker Schebesta MdL and added: “In this way, they are making an important contribution to the guiding perspective of education for sustainable development (ESD). to fill with life.”

According to State Minister Theresa Schopper, the state government sees development cooperation as a joint task. “A globally just and better world can only succeed if everyone is prepared to do something for it. The Fair Trade Schools campaign makes us more aware of the connections between our consumer behavior here in Baden-Württemberg and living conditions elsewhere.”

 

Prizes for cinematic representations

As part of a ceremony in Stuttgart to mark the 5th anniversary of the Fair Trade Schools campaign in Baden-Württemberg, four schools received prizes for the filmic representation of their commitment to fair trade. “It is always impressive to see how much creativity and commitment students show for sustainable consumption and fair trade in order to raise awareness of justice and responsibility in the school environment, but also in their own lifestyle,” says State Secretary Shebesta.

With the Fairtrade Schools campaign, schools have the opportunity to concretely implement the United Nations' global sustainability goals (Sustainable Development Goals) in everyday school life and to integrate fair trade into the school's everyday life. The campaign calls for fair trade to be discussed in class and provides information about fair trade products for use in school activities such as project weeks or school festivals. “Many of our purchasing decisions also influence people in the Global South. They often have to work under inhumane conditions, and child labor is also commonplace,” says Schopper. “That’s why we know: Changes have to start small in order to achieve big things.”

 

Support from ministries

The State Ministry of Baden-Württemberg and the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport are supporting the nationwide campaign under the patronage of Minister of Education Dr. Susanne Eisenmann. The coordination lies with the Baden-Württemberg Development Cooperation Foundation (SEZ). It is supported by other development policy actors from the state such as the Baden-Württemberg Development Policy Association (DEAB), the Reutlingen Development Education Information Center (EPiZ), the Center for Development-Related Educational Work of the Evangelical Church of Württemberg, the Institute for Religious Education of the Archdiocese of Freiburg and the MISEREOR- Diocesan office Rottenburg-Stuttgart supported.
