We Need to Talk About Fundraising
In this workshop, we explore why fundraising is a popular and habitual activity in our schools and settings. We analyse the positives and negatives of fundraising in a local and global context and we ask the question – if we can easily fundraise, can we as easily take on solidarity actions?
