Description
Pupils will collaborate with European partner schools on a project about fair trade and they will start a virtual coffee business. Coffee shops are considered as a profitable business in Greece. Greeks love coffee and they like to drink it at home or outside in a cafeteria mostly with company. Students look for the ideal place in their town considering the potential customers. They think of a name for their business. They design the logo, they organize an advertising campaign to promote their business and think of coffee recipes that will make their product irresistible in the market.
Aims
The goal of our project is to alert students to Fair Trade, to be creative and organise a business plan.
