International Fair Trade Towns Conference


 The Ammanford Fairtrade Group  met at Ammanford Church Hall on Wind Street on Thursday, October 25 and those present signed a postcard of solidarity to be sent to the 6th International Fair Trade Towns Conference in Poland.
 
The City of Poznan and The Polish Fair Trade Association, member of the World Fair Trade Organisation,are inviting  all Fair Trade Town representatives, campaigners, WFTO members, and retailer networks to the 6th International Fair Trade Towns Conference, to be held in Poznan on 10th through 11th November 2012. 
 
Although no Fair Trade Towns yet exist in Poland, there are budding campaigns in Poznan, Gdansk, and at the universities in Warsaw, Katowice, and Gdansk where students have already launched or are attempting to start Fair Trade University campaigns. Poznan is delighted to host this international event in Poland where there is still relatively little recognition of Fair Trade.
