Wycombe for Fairtrade – inspirations, proudest moment and plans for 2024
Fairtrade allows marginalized producers to access and compete in otherwise unfair, sub-optimal, global markets, thus reducing inequality while promoting inclusivity.
Our proudest moment entailed the Mayor and Ambassador of Costa Rica launching the Celebration Partnership Coffee at Highcrest Academy, donating a Fairtrade “sister” towns plaque to the school for its Fairtrade advocacy, joint teaching, and pupil engagement.
2024 objectives include upscaling our successful coffee project to engage wider regional or small independent roasters. We plan to encourage other secondary schools in High Wycombe to connect with the Colegio Bilingue in Grecia, Costa Rica. Work is underway to join our local university with an institution in Nairobi, Kenya. (107 words).
