Ireland Wood’s Fairtrade Film Success
Fairtrade Yorkshire film winners woop for joy with Greg Mulholland MP, Hannah Langdana from Leeds DEC and teacher Jen Lansdown.
This year’s Fairtrade Yorkshire Film competition was won by children from Ireland Wood Primary school in Leeds, with their film entitled “Fabulous Fairtrade Yorkshire”! The school was presented with a certificate and cheque for £200 by Leeds MP Greg Mulholland and Fairtrade Yorkshire chair Hannah Langdana, at an award ceremony at the school on Friday June 28th.
“The children from Year 4 researched how Fairtrade enables farmers in the developing world get a fairer price for their products, before they created the film” said their class teacher Jen Lansdowne. “The children absolutely loved making the film and the school is so proud of their achievement!”
The competition set schools across Yorkshire the task of making a film to celebrate Yorkshire’s status as the UK’s first Fairtrade Region.
Greg Mulholland said, “Ireland Wood worked really hard to produce this excellent film. They provide a great example of how we can all make a difference every time we go shopping.”
