The educational project “Trade with Europe-good or bad for developing countries?” targets students of secondary education (sixth form) and their teachers, providing a tool for students to explore the relationship between the Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in ACP countries (Africa, Caribbean and Pacific).
The project combines a paper teaching module with student pages, a teacher’s manual and an integrated educational website with texts and source materials.
The teaching module provides information on the Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs), their relationship to the millennium development goals (MDGs) and their consequences for the daily lives of (small) producers in developing countries through the analysis of five case studies: Tanzania (milk products), Ghana (tomato production), Mauritania (fisheries), Fiji (water) and Windward Islands (bananas). Every case study includes a country profile, six additional sources and an overview of the relationship of the EU with the ACP country involved Pupils, divided into groups, are requested to work on a specific case study and to draw their own conclusions by answering a set of sub-questions and a final question: ‘trade with Europe: it is good or bad for developing countries?’ Interested?

The teaching module is produced by the Centre for Global Education within the framework of the Partnership for Change project and can be downloaded for free in Dutch, English and Italian.
