Diary date 10 May: Fair trade gold? Event on World Fair Trade Day
Feb 28th, 2008 by Katie
I know we’re in the middle of Fairtrade Fortnight events at the moment but just to confuse you, I thought I’d let you know about an event we’re planning for World Fair Trade Day on Saturday 10 May.
We will be hosting the event with Cred Jewellery and the Sussex Fair Trade Network to raise awareness of the social and environmental issues surrounding gold and diamonds - that go beyond conflict or blood diamonds - and the route towards fair trade accreditation of gold and diamonds that Greg Valerio of Cred Jewellery has been spearheading.
Greg will be talking about his experiences to date and what future he sees for fair trade gold and diamonds; he will also be joined by other key speakers from the fair trade world (TBA).
The event will take place on the afternoon of 10 May at The Friends Meeting House in Brighton and it would be great if you could join us - so get that date in the diary now!
Take care,
Katie
