  3. Background to EthCo Through EthCo, pupils will be encouraged to see how the choices made by individuals impact on economic life in their own and other countries. Using action-based enterprise activities they will take steps towards ‘making a difference’, illustrating that consumer and citizen power can impact on poverty reduction and economic success. Pupils will learn about, and raise awareness of, the ‘Millennium Development Goals’ to their families, their communities and local businesses. Why is this resource aimed at young people? Young people are the employers, employees, and community activists of the future. EthCo hopes to embed a global perspective for the longer term and by harnessing young people’s energy and hope their actions and attitudes will influence companies to trade ethically.
