PEDEC has been successful in obtaining funding for the second year of our project for secondary schools called Race Towards Equality: Educating Global Citizens. Three High Schools in Powys  took part in the first year of this project - Llanidloes, Builth Wells and Welshpool - and three are participating this year - Gwernyfed, John Beddoes and Llandrindod. If your school would like to take part, starting in September 2012, then you should contact Jacinta on 01686 412731 or by email jacinta@pedec.org.uk for more information.

Go to the Fairtrade page to learn more.  We hope that you are all busy with your preparations for this year's Fairtrade Fortnight theme - Take a Step for Fair Trade.
