Computer game for fair trade

Ever since I wrote a cover story for Ode on how computer and video games could improve our schools, I look at them in a different perspective. I now also see new games popping up that educates children about issues like war and peace, and now also fair trade.

"Choca Monkey" is the name for an award-winning game, designed by a 13-year old, that could be used in classrooms along with other information on fair (and unfair) trade.
