Hey everyone you would be surprised to know that there are even 'Fairtrade Universities and Colleges'! Well as we have done an assignment on 'Fairtrade', so I thought we all would be interested to know which is the first Fairtrade university in the United Kingdom (UK)!
It is the 'Oxford Brookes University', which in 2003 became the first Fairtrade university in the UK after the 'Fairtrade Universities and Colleges' scheme was started by the Fairtarde Foundation! In the second place is the 'University of Birmingham'.
Now there are over 120 'Fairtrade Universities and Colleges' in the UK.
Well for people who actually don't know what is a 'Fairtarde University and College', I think it is the time for you to know it. A 'Fairtrade University or College' is one that has made a commitment to support and use Fairtrade products, and ensure that Fairtrade products are available in as many places as possible and raise awareness of Fairtrade (http://www.fairtrade.org.uk/get_involved/campaigns/fairtrade_universities/about_fairtrade_universities.aspx).
I hope, all of you have found it interesting and spared some valuable time of yours to read it.
