KIDZ@WORK campaign
kidz@work is a NEWS-campaign against exploitative child labour and for Fair Trade. This campaign runs in 9 European countries: Austria, Denmark, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Sweden, Spain and the UK.
The aim is to raise awareness amongst children between the ages of 8 and 12 on the link between the products they consume and the conditions under which they are made.
We would like to inform children about the issues of child labour and to focus on Fair Trade as an effective alternative to avoid exploitative child labour.
Chocolate and footballs are our product examples. We will show children in the North how their lives are linked to the lives of children in developing countries who work under exploitative conditions, so that we can enjoy these products.
By producing background information for adults KIDZ@WORK will support Worldshops to get in touch with children, especially with school classes, as well. You can download these documents under www.worldshops.org
