Hand in Hand for Fair Trade!
This year’s World Fair Trade Day theme is Fair Trade Relationships. Indeed, WFTO’s approach to Fair Trade is deeply grounded in the fair and sustainable trading practices of its member organisations. Truly Fair Trade relationships embody all the 10 Principles of Fair Trade.
In order to contribute to the promotion of these principles and participate in the celebrations of World Fair Trade Day 2013, we are launching a social media campaign inviting you to hold your hands for Fair Trade Relationships. Join in!Take a photo of you, your group of friends, family or work colleagues holding hands, and imagine you extend your action to holding hands with people in the entire world! Just extend one hand, for another person to hold it. They will, in the collages we’ll create: 10 powerful compilations of images, each speaking for one of the 10 Principles of Fair Trade. And all together, for Fair Trade Relationships.
