What do we fund?

The Fair Trade and Ethical Banking Festival (today We are Fair Trade and Ethical Banking) is an initiative in which everyone can participate and which aims to raise awareness of the proposals of Fair Trade and Ethical Banking in Catalan society, so that citizens can apply these proposals in their daily lives.

The precedents of this activity date back to the year 2000, with the visit of the boat Estelle to Barcelona. The good results of this experience led different Catalan organisations linked to Fair Trade to consider continuing to work on this project. And so it has been until now, each year with better results.

Since 2003, the Fair Trade Festival has ceased to be an activity only in Barcelona and, during its eleventh edition (2010), has reached 94 municipalities in Catalonia. In the Catalan municipalities, a large number of social and solidarity organisations participate, which coordinate with the local councils to make it possible.

This effort to decentralise the festival has been very positively valued, both by the organising bodies in Catalonia and by the local groups and organisations that take part in the festival by organising activities in their own municipality or neighbourhood.

When does it end?
