Milking It	Oxfam's new on-line learning resource, equips young people aged 13-16 with a deeper understanding of the issues behind world trade and globalisation. By focusing on the lives of two dairy farmers, one in Wales and one in Jamaica, pupils will come face to face with key questions: Why are some countries poor while others are rich? Why are farmers, and countries whose economies depend mostly on agriculture, falling behind? Who makes the rules on international trade? How can ordinary people make their voices heard? The resource helps to develop young people's thinking skills, by stimulating their curiosity about international issues. The interactive quizzes, activities and case studies help to motivate them to find out more about the issues. There are opportunities for them to do research, and to develop their ICT skills. A spectrum of viewpoints is presented, so that pupils can consider and analyse them. They are encouraged to think of solutions, and to engage in democratic processes to bring about change.
