For the third consecutive year, Fair Trade Lebanon celebrates the Fair Trade Fortnight
From May 14th until the 29th, Fair Trade Lebanon (FTL) is celebrating the Fair Trade Fortnight in Lebanon. This event of international scope, aims to inform, educate and mobilize the public around Fair Trade as an alternative consumption model that respects people and the environment.
The Fortnight celebration revolves around the World Fair Trade Day, designated on May 14th, 2011. This important date is organized in partnership of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO), which gathers over 400 fair trade actors from 73 countries and of which FTL is a member since September 2010. The theme for the 2011 edition is "Trade for people: Fair Trade your world.”
Fair Trade Lebanon joins the event: During these fifteen days of campaign, FTL has mobilized more than ten renowned restaurants that have committed to serving fair trade products in their menus as well as communicating about this theme.
This effort to raise awareness for Fair Trade is supported by the French Embassy in Lebanon.
