Universities and Colleges

'Scotland is working to become a Fair Trade Nation. The student movement has been central to the rapidly growing success of Fair Trade in Scotland, because so many students are willing to stand up and demand an end to trade injustice and exploitation of workers in developing countries.

 You and your institution can become part of the dynamic core of this movement. 

By Spring 2009, pass a policy to become Fairtrade and set up a steering group to oversee the process and your institution is already halfway toward achieving Fairtrade status.

The Scottish Fair Trade forum exists to support Fair Trade activity in institutions like yours. Through working to become a Fair Trade Nation, we are working together to ensure that workers and producers in the developing world get a fair deal for their work and a chance to improve their lives and communities.'
