Our Online discussion for Fairtrade Fortnight – Thursday 4 March at 6pm – 7:30pm

This event features Lizy White, Product Development Manager from Traidcraft, and Slindelo, Production Co-ordinator from Eswatini Kitchen.   We’ll hear from them about the challenges and successes in their part of the supply chains that brings people together through Fairtrade and allow us to make the right choice as consumers here in Oxford.

In 2020 we were lucky to be able to host several great in person events.  We didn’t know how lucky!  For 2021 everything is of course online.

Our online virtual conversation event  ‘Hidden Voices in the Market’ is now ready to book – we’ll be looking at the different stories in the fair trade supply chain and the impact we can have, and that other external forces are having.

We’re also partnering with Brookes University and testing your Fairtrade baking skills during the fortnight – have a look at our competition – there’s prizes!.

And we’ll be encouraging you to get involved in the Fairtrade Foundation’s online festival – “Choose the World You Want”

We’d love to hear what you’re doing – let us know on social media (Facebook, Twitter or Instagram) or by email.

We’re very grateful to Mike Pickering of the Mid Counties Co-Op and Sarah Brazier from the Fairtrade Foundation for taking the time to talk to Oxford’s community about the impact of climate change and COVID and how Fairtrade can help in both.   This online event took place in November 2020 but you can view it on You Tube here (36 minutes)  –  https://youtu.be/rGjAwuKkJus

Happy Fairtrade Fortnight everyone.  Look out for things to do in Oxford and beyond (see our events page for more details).  And choose at least one extra Fairtrade item each day.  Together we can make a difference..
