The FA!R PROCURA 2010 Conference emphasised how Fair Trade procurement could help public authorities to support sustainable development and make a change for marginalised producers and workers from developing countries.

Interactive sessions with high level speakers on FTPP from all over Europe, workshops focused on specific aspects of FTPP such as food (catering, canteens etc.), textiles (clothing, uniforms etc.) and legal issues (do’s and don’ts) as well as a session dedicated to the particular FTPP issues in the member states where Fair Trade awareness is low. As a partner in the project, ICLEI helped to organise the conference together with the project coordinator EFTA.
