About this cause

DDE is an education charity, working with pupils, teachers and community groups aiming to help people of all ages understand the major issues in our world, our connections to them and what actions we can take, locally and globally, to make the world a better, fairer and more sustainable world for all. We do this by enabling people of all ages to develop skills such as critical thinking, to help understand what is going on in the world, to foster values and attitudes which will enable us to work together to achieve a more just, sustainable world. We aim for them to be prepared to take an active role, as citizens, both locally and globally. We organise projects with schools and communities in Devon, including Fairtrade Devon.

How this cause brings people in the community together

We believe that striving to make Sidmouth a more committed Fairtrade Town will bring together all sections of the community, providing opportunities to engage with the outside world and provide accessible ways to help make the world a better, fairer place for all. Sidmouth people will be proud to see their good works on display for tourists and international visitors.
