Fairtrade Forum

I was delighted to chair a meeting of the Dundee Fairtrade Forum which took place at Morgan Academy.  We met at Morgan Acadmey to hear about the great work of the Fairtrade group at Morgan Academy.  Morgan is Dundee's only fairtrade secondary school.  I would like to see more schools committed to gaining fairtrade status.  Dundee City Council's fairtrade policy says that there should be more fairtrade schools in the city. 

Apart from hearing about the excellent work at Morgan Academy the main item for discussion was plans for Fairtrade Fortnight.  One of the main events in Dundee will be in association with Take One Action, Oxfam and the Co-operative Group; there will be a film show at the DCA along with workshops.  The theme will be Women, Food, Film and Power and the film The Dancing Forest will be shown.  You can find out more on the Facebook page.  You can see a trailer for the film below.
