Journey to awareness during Fair Trade Month

Originally posted on November 9, 2016. In October 2016, Fond du Lac Fair Trade Town invited the community to learn more about Fair Trade and how we as a community can be more aware of the principles of Fair Trade and more broadly the principles of Human Rights – the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family as the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world.

A short and affordable Fair Trade Journey is offered as you are out and about this October, to ten locally owned shops and cafés that carry some Fair Trade products. They each are highlighting a featured product for you to learn more about Fair Trade around Fond du Lac.

Originally posted on September 14, 2014. During Fair Trade month, people all across the world come together to learn about and celebrate Fair Trade. In our local area, Just Fare Market, Fond du Lac Fair Trade Town, Moraine Park Technical College, UW-Fond du Lac, and Marian University are connecting to educate and celebrate with a number of special events throughout the month. We encourage everyone to attend these important events to learn more about how our support of artisans and farmers in developing countries can truly make a difference. All events are free and open to the public.
