RealityTrek!'s Make It Fair!
Make it Fair! is intended to be fun and interactive, wherein light-hearted games are played to teach the concepts and accommodate different learning styles while teaching difficult topics. There is a 45 minute seminar/introduction session, a half-day session, or a full-day session to choose from. Participants are encouraged at the end of all the options to start to formulate their own opinions and to actively participate in the RealityTrek! Canvas, where ideas about how they plan to make change in the world and what they learned from the sessions are hung in a public place to remind them and others of their commitments.
Twenty percent of the presenter's fee goes toward a charity which helps out in one of the areas talked about within the programme.
Social Justice, Rights, Fair Trade.
As of this writing, RealityTrek! Resources is in the process of producing other resources such as books and board games (which are in the design stage). Other goals for expansion include: a business which will allow passionate students from the Make It Fair! programme the opportunity to visit local businesses and help them become fair trade. This business will also allow other businesses to purchase fair trade products through the company. Proceeds from this business would allow students from Make It Fair! to attend RealityTrek! trips to developing countries, where they could immerse themselves in local cultures while working on community/building projects. It is expected that the first group of students will be visiting East Timor later in 2010.
RealityTrek! Resources would also like to do a television series or documentary showing the "other side" of developing countries, the issues and inequalities that are not revealed on the glamorised tourism and travel shows. The goal would be an "in your face" guide to travel that might encourage people to do volunteer work through their travels.
Finally, RealityTrek! Resources hopes to build a developing village school/leadership camp.
