We'll be marking Fairtrade Fortnight with a range of events to raise awareness and engage the community. |
Achieved in 2006, BU's status as a Fairtrade University confirms our commitment to promote the consumption of Fairtrade products.
All shops, cafés and refectories on both of our campuses now sell a wider selection of Fairtrade products, and Fairtrade tea, coffee and sugar are now served at internal meetings.
For us, achieving Fairtrade Status is part of a University-wide strategy to ensure that students, graduates and staff develop as ‘global citizens'.
Campus-based activities to support Fairtrade Fortnight (Monday, 26 February to Sunday, 11 March) include:
Presented by DEED (Development Education in Dorset) featuring a range of materials relating to Fairtrade and further information on DEED.
