Teaching about Bananas and Fair Trade
Teachers are urged to visit the Global Education Network / Le Réseau de l'éducation globale website where our film, Banana Split, and Banana Stories/Histoires de Bananes are core elements in the teaching module on bananas. For the English version of this module see "Bananas Unpeeled" and for the French version see Les Bananes Toutes Crues. It's all free and a cut above anything else you will find on the internet.
