NEW! Webquest makeITfair
Our specially-designed webquest challenges students (14-16 year) to start their own mobile phone shop – so they can see for themselves how to balance problems encountered along the supply chain for the electronics industry with the demands of consumers.

New: E-mail bosses at Nintendo and Microsoft calling on them to make IT really green!

 

makeITfair is a European project focusing on the electronics industry, especially on consumer electronics like mobile phones, laptops and MP3 players. We want to let young people across Europe know about the labour abuses and environmental problems that are going on right now around the world – just to satisfy our demand for all the latest electronic gadgets. And we want young people to get active to improve the situation. Together we can hold big brand electronics companies to account – asking them to take responsibility for the labour abuses and environmental damage at the bottom of their supply chain.
