Thinking about starting a Fairtrade campaign at your college or uni? Or perhaps you’ve already run a successful campaign for Fairtrade status and want ideas for where to take your campaign next? Then this is the conference for you!
Share campaigning experiences with other students from across the country (and with teaching staff, catering staff and Fairtrade suppliers) - or get the inspiration you need to get your campaign started.
Choose from workshops on campaigning, procurement or the Fairtrade supply chain and benefits to producers, and hear inspiring speakers including Harriet Lamb, executive director of the Fairtrade Foundation, and Craig Murray, Britain’s outspoken former Ambassador to the Central Asian Republic of Uzbekistan, now writer, broadcaster and Rector of Dundee University.
