What you can do

Ways staff and students can get involved in fair trade at the University:

  • Choose to buy fair trade products, and encourage others to do so
  • Get involved in campaign or action groups e.g. student societies, our staff/student Fair Trade Steering Group, NGO campaigns, Scottish Fair Trade Forum etc.
  • Take part in our fair trade volunteering projects
  • Attend our fair trade lectures, seminars and other events
  • Host your own fair trade events – we can help promote them
  • Consider carrying out research on fairness in trade (we have a Fair Trade Dissertation Prize for all students and a Fair Trade Academic Network for academic staff/PhD students)
  • Follow University of Edinburgh Fair Trade on Facebook and Twitter and share our posts
