Many of you are asking: « What’s next? When is the second edition of Fair Trade in Europe going to take place ? »
We are working on it ! Indeed, the Région Rhône-Alpes, within the frame of its policies for the development of Fair Trade, has decided to support a preparatory phase for a second fair.
The second edition of Fair Trade in Europe is likely to happen in early October 2009, and probably a second time in Lyon, before going to other European countries.
Various improvements are being studied: a better venue, a larger number of visitors, a more extensive press cover, an improved website...
We will be able to tell the precise date of the next fair in September !
