TUNBRIDGE WELLS FAIRTRADE TOWN GROUP
"Let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream" Amos 5:24
Fairtrade Fortnight 2012 - Take a step for Fairtrade Our 2012 community art installation for World Fair Trade Day was titled ‘Take a Step for Fairtrade’, and celebrated the benefits that Fairtrade brings to farmers across the world. Over 1000 students from local schools contributed to the project. Each student was asked to trace the outline of one of their feet and then complete the image with their own design. The resulting artwork was printed onto vinyl and fixed to the paving blocks of Fiveways in the centre of Tunbridge Wells. If you walked to the centre of the spiral you would hear music specially written and performed for the project, again by local students. K College Freshers' Fair We attended the K College Tonbridge Freshers' Fair in September 2012, speaking to students about Fairtrade and explaining how they could be a part of our Fairtrade events. Participation in Fairtrade events can give students valuable work experience and a reference for their portfolios, plus the knowledge that they have helped a valuable cause for ethical production .
