2017: a year full of smiles - AlterNativa3

2017: a year full of smiles

This year 2017 has been full of reasons to smile. At AlterNative3 we are 25 years old. 25 years of working to make the world a fairer, more sustainable and healthier place.

To celebrate, we set out to make this 2017 a year full of smiles. By attending trade fairs and activities, running projects around the world and competitions, we have sought to brighten up the day, the month or the year for all those who follow and live a healthy, ecological and, above all, ecological lifestyle, fighting for Fairer Trade.

Fairs and activities:

During the last 12 months we have attended 9 trade fairs:

  • Fira de Consum Responsable i d'Economia Social i Solidària, Barcelona. During the Christmas holidays of 2016-2017 we spent a few days in Plaza Cataluña, sharing with all the people who came to visit us.
  • Biofach in Nuremberg, Germany, from 15 to 18 February. We were very pleased to be able to participate once again in the most important organic fair in the world today.
  • BioCultura Seville 2017. The third edition of BioCultura Seville was a great success and we were delighted to see how more and more fairs can be found in all Spanish cities that share the values of AlterNativa3, the values of Fair Trade.
  • 24th edition of BioCultura Barcelonafrom 4 to 7 May. BioCultura Barcelona has already become a must every year.
  • BioTerra Irún. Happy with the more than 12000 people who came to see us at BioTerra.
  • Natura Health Canary Islands in September. In September, we travelled to the Canary Islands to attend this magnificent fair that promotes products that are committed to health and quality of life.
  • BioCultura Valencia 2017. Now in its eighth edition, it is starting to become a tradition - turning good values into tradition is what we strive for!
  • FESC Barcelona. It is a pleasure to participate in this leading trade fair in Barcelona.
  • BioCultura Madrid 2017. Last but not least, this year's fair was BioCultura, where we had the pleasure of being together with excellent organisations with whom we share a lot and hope to meet again in the near future. Not to mention the more than 75,000 people who came, spectacular!

In addition to the attendance and participation in these fairs, we have organised some surprises, such as the cocoa tastings, coffee tastings or our Food Truck Café.. Participants were able to learn a lot about the products and their Fairtrade characteristics.

Smile" Calendar 2018

Throughout this year we have organised a competition, Smile AlterNativa3with which we have tried to fill the networks with smiles and reasons to smile. After lots and lots of pictures and happiness we chose 12 from among a representative of AlterNativa3, the state Fair Trade coordinatora representative of Terrassa Channel and another of Project Factory. You can find these 12 winning smiles in our beautiful calendar, to bring colour and joy to 2018!

 

25 years of Fairtrade deserve a celebration! And so we decided to hold a draw for a whole year of Fairtrade products for the winner. After many participations, on Tuesday 19th December we made the draw and announced the winner, Mayte Bartual!

Finally, to close the activities carried out this year, to mention the product raffles we hold after each fair. To thank all those who visited us and took the time to learn a little about what we do and how we promote and work to make the world a fairer place.
