Fairtrade Fortnight 2019 - Dubai and the United Arab Emirates

Fairtrade Fortnight 2019 - Dubai and the United Arab Emirates

This year I celebrated Fairtrade Fortnight 2019 Dubai with friends.

What is Fairtrade Fortnight?

For two weeks each year, thousands of individuals, companies and groups across the UK come together to celebrate the people who grow our food, people who live in some of the poorest countries in the world and who are often exploited and badly paid.

This year the Fairtrade Foundation are focusing on the people, in particular the women who grow the cocoa in the chocolate we love so much.

Teaching fair trade at the Manor Primary School, Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Teaching fair trade at the Manor Primary School, Dubai, United Arab Emirates

I was invited by Manor Primary School and children of Year 5 to talk about fair trade.

We started the lesson by watching the Max Havelaar Chocolate Song.

The world in my shopping basket - children learnt where fair trade products came from.

Year 5 tasted fairtrade Divine Milk Chocolate and Green & Blacks Maya Gold.

The children watched a fairtrade video about Tayna a young girl who visited cocoa farmers and their communities in the Dominican Republic.

Children learnt about the fair price, social premium, social standards and the environment.

The children showed their support for fair trade and we ended the session with lots of happy memories. 

I hope they will be the future fair trade stars and campaigners in Dubai and the United Arab Emirates.

Fair Trade Ethical Living - Fair trade chocolate master class and interview with Bruce Crowther MBE, Garstang, United Kingdom

Fair Trade Ethical Living - Fair trade chocolate master class and interview with Bruce Crowther MBE, Garstang, United Kingdom

I had the good fortune to visit Bruce Crowther, MBE during November 2016 and spent a morning learning how to produce fair trade chocolate bean to bar.

Fredrick is a member of the Kuapa Kukoo Farmers Cooperative Ghana, and it was wonderful feeling knowing he had grown the cocoa for our chocolate.

We began our chocolate making at the crack of dawn and I was nervous not to make any mistakes and spoil Bruce's batch of chocolate.

I have posted all the photographs chronologically as we produced the chocolate.
