Children from primary schools around the Island will gather in the Tynwald chamber on Thursday for a day-long Fairtrade summit.
Pupils will be welcomed to the event by President of Tynwald Clare Christian and hear a keynote speaker from the UK Fairtrade Foundation.
They'll learn about the importance to farmers in developing countries of being paid a fair price for their crops.
Last year, snack time saw just 20 per cent of the children enjoy a cookie and fruit juice while the rest made do with water and a dry biscuit.
The event's being organised by the One World Centre.
Director Rosemary Clarke says it was a practical way to demonstrate inequality between those who have and have not:
