The program engages students worldwide in direct, interactive learning and storytelling to build cross-cultural understanding.
Students will also be sharing what they have been learning about fair trade from the Get It! Curriculum published by Heifer. This includes an in depth study of fair trade issues focused on coffee from Guatemala, flowers from Colombia, and bananas from Ecuador.
