STUDENTS have learned about the meaning of fair trade from three pupils from their college.
Erin Fahey, Tom Porter and Graham Bookers, who are supporters of fair trade with developing countries, organised a presentation at Prior Prusglove College.
A similar event will be held on Friday at the college in Guisborough, which has recently gained Fair Trade Town status.
Students were able to find out what the Fair Trade symbol stands for and sample Fair Trade chocolate and coffee.
Tom said: "I have an interest in the problems of the Third World and have helped out at Fair Trade stands in supermarkets.
"I have also been on marches in Newcastle and in London.
"These events at the college will provide a great chance to spread the word."
