2008 Fairtrade fortnight
Fairtrade has improved the lives of millions of people - farmers, workers and their families - in developing countries. But, we need to keep promoting Fairtrade to ensure people know that buying Fairtrade products can make a positive diference. If you want to hold an event to promote Fairtrade in 2008, the Fairtrade foundation, in the United Kingdom, has lots of resources that you can order for all kinds of events and displays in your school, university, workplace or community to help you spread the Fairtrade message.
Fairtrade Fortnight will take place from February 25th to March 9th and is supported by more than 15 organizations; you can learn more here.
