DESCRIPTION
The two videos proposed arise from an Altromercato campaign entitled “Scegli da che parte stare” (Choose your side); both can be captioned using YouTube's "Auto Translate" feature (accessible via settings).
The videos are useful for storytelling because people can understand the history of the producers, highlighting the positive aspects of fair trade, but at the same time they allow people to understand their role as consumers.
A discussion should be added starting from these simple statements: “There are products that are not good for everyone. We hold them in our hands every day, thinking we know them, but really, we do not know anything. Coffee and sugar are two of them.”
