GLOBAL TRADING AT BARNSBURY PRIMARY SCHOOL

A group of 10 and 11 year olds took part in a SATRO Global Trading Game on Thursday 3rd November 2011 at Barnsbury Primary School, Woking.  One of the objectives of the Game is to teach young children diversity of wealth in countries and link it to the real business world of trading.  The pupils learnt some powerful lessons, as these feedback comments attest to:

What they enjoyed:        “The way that it was a game, but it made you aware of the people around you and how much they struggled to live.”     

What they learned:         “It shocked me that people go to bed hungry.” 
“I learned that I will not chuck food away.”  
“That not all countries have a lot of stuff to really keep them alive.”
