What’s your vision for a Fairtrade Oxford?

Last night at the re-certification of Oxford as a Fairtrade City we invited everyone to share their vision for Fairtrade in Oxford over the coming five years.

We’ll be sharing some of those visions here on the blog soon – but we want to hear your views:

Go Bananas in Oxford

The Fairtrade Foundation are calling on all Fairtrade supporters to Go Bananas during Fairtrade Fortnight.

You can be part of the worlds biggest (possible only…) Banana ‘event’ on the 6th and 7th March.

There are already events taking place in Oxford – but to find out more and to add your events to the Fairtrade Fortnight map take a look at the Go Bananas website.

(If you’re planning an open event – make sure you let us know as well so we can promote it also…).

Fairtrade Fortnight Events

As well as The Great Trade Debate taking place in Oxford next week, Fairtrade Fortnight will see a number of other events across the city.

• Fairtade Faces – a special trail around Oxford Botanical Gardens;
• Free Fairtrade Tasting sessions and samples at Fairtrade@StMichaels, Uhuru and the Jericho Community Cafe;
