Child Labor Awareness: Ending Sweatshop Cocoa

0

At Beitun Elementary School in Taichung City, the project "Child Labor Awareness: Ending Sweatshop Cocoa" was initiated to educate students about child labor and exploitation in the cocoa industry. Through comprehensive lessons and engaging discussions, students explored the impact of unfair labor practices on children and the importance of supporting fair trade initiatives.

The program included research projects on the cocoa supply chain, where students analyzed the social and economic factors contributing to child labor. They participated in interactive workshops, where they created informative posters and presentations to raise awareness about child labor in cocoa production. Students also engaged in discussions on the importance of supporting small farmers and ethical consumption.

This initiative empowered students to advocate for social justice, enhancing their critical thinking and communication skills as they shared their knowledge with the school community. By fostering a culture of empathy and responsibility, the project aimed to inspire the next generation to take action against child labor and promote fair trade practices.
