Every Fair Trade Town is looking for inspiration: to refresh its activities, connect with other sustainability themes and engage new and younger audiences. But why reinvent the wheel when others have already tested what works?

In this session, colleagues will present inspiring activities and campaigns they have tested in their communities. They’ll share results, the steps they took, the partnerships they built and, just as importantly, the pitfalls and challenges they encountered along the way. Expect dialogue, peer-to-peer exchange and time for questions.
