Traidcraft is inviting everyone, from churches and schools to workplaces and community groups to host a fair trade Big Brew during Fairtrade Fortnight 2012. We’re asking everyone to put on the kettle and raise money for our charity, which helps families and communities to flourish.
From coffee mornings to street carnivals, your Big Brew can be anything you want it to be and we have the resources to help you host a brilliant event.
We have two packs available:

Alongside your refreshments there is also a resource pack which contains promotional materials, a Traidcraft Big Brew event guide, quiz, game, factsheet, posters, stickers, campaigns activity sheet, CD with powerpoint, and a collection box to help with your fundraising. Everything you need to host a brilliant Traidcraft Big Brew.

Also, teachers can now download free resources to help them take part in Fairtrade Fortnight 2012 and become one of the growing number of schools working towards or maintaining their Fairtrade School status.
The free Fairtrade Fortnight Schools Action Pack is available to download from the Traidcraft schools website and contains links to resources, games and activities to help teachers further their pupils’ understanding of fair trade.
Ideas include organising a school fair trade assembly using the Traidcraft assembly plan, holding a sponsored walk with fair trade refreshments at the end, or playing the Fairtrade Families game in class, which is based on the Happy Families game but features families from producer groups across the developing world.
