HLW Spittal starts exciting fair trade project with world shop!

Spittal, Österreich - In Spittal, a remarkable social project at HLW was launched. The students of the final class of the new technical school for social professions work in cooperation with the Weltladen Spittal and devote themselves to the topics of fair trade as well as the global children's and women's rights in a special workshop. On November 22, the students took part in a workshop, which was organized by the teachers Amata Reiner and Gernot Tischler. Sylvia Auer, the chairwoman of the Weltladen association, together with Hannelore Hecher, led the exciting event that should raise awareness of the origin of cocoa, coffee and banana, how meinzirk.at reported.

The project not only includes theoretical disputes, but also provides practical sales campaigns. Fairtrade chocolate was sold at the 50th anniversary of the HLW to support school projects in Madagascar. The focus is currently on the sale of mango products, the proceeds of which should benefit the children in the Philippines, as project coach Reiner explained. Another step includes an excursion to the world shop, where the students will deepen their knowledge and continue to work on their project. This initiative fits the HLW strategy, which has been promoting the EU sustainability goals under the leadership of director Adolf Lackner, with topics such as climate protection and equality playing a central role.

The students will also form expert groups who pass on their knowledge in other classes. This is intended to help create a better understanding of social justice and sustainable consumption. This is not only a way to anchor learning in practice, but also an opportunity for the students to actively contribute to global questions, which is significantly promoted by the initiative of the HLW, such as hlw spittal further noted.
