EDUCATION / SHARING KNOWLEDGE:


Fair Trade Colombia is happy to host tomorrow December 2, 2011 a delegation from the Colombian organization: "Promotora de Comercio Social" who are in Canada on a commercial mission. We are going to be talking about Fair Trade and what we can do to improve conditions for their producers in Colombia!

EDUCATING YOUNG CONSUMERS!

On Thursday, December 8, 2011 (10 a.m. to 2 p.m.) Fair Trade Colombia has been invited to do a Fair Trade Talk to the students at the Bayview Secondary School in Richmond Hill, Ontario as part of their Annual Fair Trade Bazaar organized by the School's Eco-Team.

Their Eco-Team works towards reducing the environmental impact of students, school and community. One way in which they strive to do this is through educating the student body on environmental issues and the small lifestyle changes that works towards a greener future. Due to their efforts, they are officially certified as a Silver Eco-School.

At the Fair Trade Bazaar, they hope to provide an opportunity for students to see what fair trade, organic, eco-friendly products are available. Last year was a major success with both the students and staff. They learned about responsible, alternative choices they could make as consumers.

Fair Trade Colombia is happy to be able to take opportunity to help students realize that their purchasing power can create change for a better world.

Fair Trade Colombia is a proud partner of World Fair Trade Day, an international celebration of Fair Trade through the Fair Trade Resource Network (www.ftrn.org). This year’s events will be taking place in over 80 countries worldwide. This event reminds us to purchase and use Fair Trade items as part of our routine lives. Commit to expanding your use of Fair Trade soap, sugar, clothes, toys, coffee, chocolate, baskets, picture frames, bananas, rice, tea, soccer balls, flowers, wine and more!  High quality, Fair Trade products are available for every room in your home. When we expand Fair Trade at home, we not only support the people who make the items we consume and enjoy, we also support the environment, women’s rights, children’s rights, cultural dignity and peace building. That’s a powerful thing to do by committing to use Fair Trade items at home.
