Virtual Fairtrade Fortnight

 It's been a strange year since I last posted, and of course no real life events could be arranged for Fairtrade Fortnight this year.

However, Fairtrade Fortnight is still going ahead virtually from February 22nd to March 7th.  The theme this year is Climate Justice.

Fairtrade Wales are holding a Climate Change Coffee Morning on Saturday February 27th from 11am to noon via Zoom, to talk about climate change and to hear from Jennipher, a coffee farmer in Uganda.  Her coffee is grown on the slopes of Mt Elgon in Uganda and roasted in Wales, and is both organic and Fairtrade.  Tickets are free, and there is also an opportunity to buy some of Jennipher's coffee before the event.

On Thursday March 4th, from 7pm to 8.30pm, there will be a panel discussion organised by Swansea Fair Trade Forum on Climate Justice for a Fairer World.

Tickets and more information are available from the Fairtrade Wales website.
