FAIRTRADE: WHY DOES IT MATTER? Because a child dies every THREE SECONDS from poverty. Because millions more worldwide are forced into child labour.

FAIRTRADE: UNIVERSITIES & COLLEGES Over 55 Universities in the UK have achieved Fairtrade University status. Over 100 colleges in the UK have achieved Fairtrade College status. Swansea University, NEWI, Swansea Institute of Higher Education, Deeside College and Cardiff University have all achieved Fairtrade Status. How can you achieve (and maintain!) Fairtrade status for your university or college?

FAIRTRADE: UNIVERSITIES & COLLEGES The 5 Goals 1. Both the Student Union and university / college authorities must create Fairtrade policies. 2. Fairtrade foods are available to buy in all campus outlets + Fairtrade foods are to be used in all cafes/restaurants/bars on campus. 3. Fairtrade foods (e.g. coffee, tea & sugar) are served at all meetings hosted by the institution + the SU, and are served in all management offices. 4. There is a commitment to campaign for increased Fairtrade consumption on campus, including during Fairtrade Fortnight. 5. Set up a Fairtrade Steering Group to reflect on the progress of each of these goals + decide how to go about continuing to excel in them.

FAIRTRADE: UNIVERSITIES & COLLEGES Achieving Fairtrade Status - Contact colleagues and establish a working group - Involve the relevant student groups and the student union - Take advice from colleagues at other institutions / within WEAUC - Contact your suppliers and purchasing consortium e.g. HEPCW - Contact Fair Trade Wales for advice, materials and speeches. - Download the guides and leaflets
