the way in which Cadbury adds value.
The visit culminated with an engaging
educational talk including topics such as;
stakeholders, ethics, marketing and promotion,
the product life cycle and the new initiative of
Cocoa Life which will supersede the Fairtrade
logo on their products.
All in all, the visit was, to quote some of the
students, ‘the best day of my life’ and a
valuable opportunity for students to apply their
knowledge and understanding to a real
business, first hand. An excellent range of work was on display,
including sculpture, conceptual art, packaging,
design for print, illustration and fashion.
All were in agreement that this was a great
opportunity to find out about Art and Design
pathways beyond 6th form and to collect ideas
for their own project work.
