Fair Trade International Symposium
2 Apr 2012 - 4 Apr 2012 Liverpool, United Kingdom FLO Visit the Event site
Following the success of the first three Fair Trade International Symposiums held in Montreal (2002 & 2006) and Montpellier (2008), a 4th symposium will be held at Liverpool Hope Business School on 2 - 4 April 2012. For this 4th edition, the symposium, which gathers academics & practitioners, will host the final conference of the EU-funded "GeoFairTrade" project.
The question which will be explored during the 4th Fair Trade International Symposium is the following: How can Fair Trade concretely connect producers and consumers, as well as other stakeholders, along fair and sustainable supply chains?
As the Montpellier symposium explored, Fair Trade has known an unprecedented growth and mainstreaming over the last decade, translating into dramatic increases in sales and public awareness. However, many questions remain for both practitioners and academics about the potential of Fair Trade to continue growing, whilst at the same time, achieving its aims of transforming globalisation.
