Fair Trade Chocolate Tasting Provide each student with a piece of Fair Trade Chocolate gelt or a small piece of chocolate from a Fair Trade chocolate bar. Allow them to enjoy the treat!
Take Action and Closing It is not the study that is essential, but rather the action. Pirke Avot1:17 Now that your students are aware of the issues around modern chocolate production and that the Fair Trade logo is a response to the problem, it is important to now help them identify clear ways to take action based on what they learned. The ideas should include: • Buy Fair Trade gelt this Chanukah – Visit www.fairtradegelt.org to buy online or look for it at your local stores; • If your local stores don’t carry Fair Trade chocolate, let the store manager know that you want to this this product in the store; • Make a Fair Trade pledge – for the next year only buy Fair Trade chocolate! See how much Fair Trade chocolate you can enjoy! To close the program, ask each student to say one word they think of when they hear the words “Fair Trade chocolate.” There might be a lot of “yummy” answers, but also some students who remember “children,” “West Africa,” “slavery,” “important,” etc.
