This Saturday supporters of Fairtrade are coming together for the annual Fairtrade Supporters Conference. Organised by the Fairtrade Foundation the conference focuses on building a peoples’ movement for change. The conference is being held at Kings College London.
The day consists of speakers, workshops, debates, a surgery and an evening social. With ten workshops covering a variety of topics there is something for everyone:
• Fairtrade Schools
• Environmental impact on fair-trade producers
• Developing new Fairtrade products
• From field to Fork
• The global food crisis and Fairtrade: small farmers, big solutions
• Scaling up the impact of Fairtrade
• Tipping the balance of business to make Fairtrade the norm
• Giving producers a voice in the market
• The story of Fairtrade cosmetics
• Fairtrade for first timers
Georgie and Alexandra are in India so unable to attend the conference this year. If you have booked and are attending we hope you enjoy the day.
