Dear Delegates

We very much hope you all returned back home safely after our International Fair Trade Towns Conference in Edinburgh.

Here are some post-conference items of information for you.

If you haven’t completed our short feedback survey, please do as this really helps us with reporting and learning.

Photos – a reminder that the photos are here for you to use and look at (credit is Scottish Fair Trade, photographer is Media Murray)

Summary – with thanks to Colum Scriven of Rainbow Turtle for writing up a great summary about the Saturday – please find it here. Would anyone like to write up the Sunday? If so, please email catherine@scottishfairtrade.org. Please note, we do not plan to write a conference report for delegates. 

Presentations, films & available speeches – please find them here.

WhatsApp Group – in case you didn’t join and would still like to, it’s here. We will be running a yes / no poll in the group to find out if you’d like to keep it beyond the end of September as we originally planned. Please note we are unable to share the delegate list with email addresses.

Follow up meeting – we have planned a follow-up session to feedback about the challenges and solutions discussed during the hackathon sessions. It is planned to take place on 3 December 1-2pm UK time (which is suggested as the best time taking Japan and South Korea, and Peru into account – as the furthest away locations of delegates).

Sponsors – with thanks once again to The City of Edinburgh Council, The Scottish Government, Scotmid Co-op, the Fairtrade Foundation and Hand Up Events. Without this support, the conference would not have been possible.

Thank you to you all for travelling from near and far, the conference would not have been what it was without you.

With very best wishes

Scottish Fair Trade & Edinburgh City Fair Trade Group
