Education: Fair’s Fair Teaching Pack

Focusing on sportswear, this pack is aimed at the 9-14 age group finding out more about who makes the sporting merchandise they buy.  Fair’s Fair brings alive the concepts of human rights, equality and fairness by telling stories of people who make these goods in the global south, often working with few rights, and for poverty wages.

The pack was developed through involvement with teacher members from Anti-Slavery International, ATL, NASUWT and NUT working in collaboration with the TUC.  Lesson ideas and activities make links between different subjects including art and design, citizenship, English, geography and maths.

By using this pack, pupils can develop their understanding of why decent working conditions are part of the United Nations Millenium Development Goals to end poverty, and take practical actions to help make the world a fairer place.
