Over 100 year 5 and year 6 pupils at Leatherhead Trinity School were very active participants in the SATRO Global Trading Game which took place on 6 November 2012. A fast and furious experience involving six teams in each of the four heats, this was an excellent opportunity to learn the importance of trading and teamwork, and some of the differences between advanced and poorer economies around the world. Thereafter, a de-brief session allowed the pupils to reflect on what they had learned from the experience and to hear and discuss the challenges facing the world and how those in richer countries can help; an issue already known at Trinity which has established links with a school in Uganda. One commented...“I learned that people in countries like America have technology but need other resourses that they don't have - and the other way round for people in Africa, so they trade.”
