This May, the World Fair Trade Month Campaign focuses on the ties between small farmers in the global South and North who feed the world while respecting the environment and labour rights, including those of rural women. A total of 279 municipalities are participating, of which 168 municipalities and 41 educational centres are in the province of Barcelona.
Throughout the month, there will be activities scheduled in different municipalities in Catalonia, which you can check out on the campaign website. Here you will also find this year's manifesto, which focuses on small farmers who promote agroecology and food sovereignty both in Catalonia and in countries in the South. It also focuses on our role as consumers in supporting this model of production through fair trade and a solidarity economy that guarantees the right to food, caring for people and ecosystems and ensuring decent working conditions for farmers and their communities.
As a result of the collaboration between LaCoordi, which is leading the campaign, together with the Barcelona Provincial Council and the Catalan Agency for Development Cooperation, more than 205 libraries, 125 of which are in the province of Barcelona, and 8 mobile libraries throughout Catalonia will organise fair trade reading corners and/or storytelling activities.
Likewise, in this edition, 36 municipal markets, some fairs and local shops in the province of Barcelona will hold workshops on fair trade chocolate lollipops, fair trade games, exhibitions, among other activities to promote the campaign.
In the province of Barcelona, Fair Trade Month is the result of cross-cutting work between the Directorate of International Relations, the Library Services and the Trade Services of the Barcelona Provincial Council.
If, like the city council of the province of Barcelona, you would like to sign up to the manifesto, you can do so here.
