Project Fair Trade Our Fair Future
The project Fair Trade Our Fair Future is an international initiative of organizations from Romania, Poland and Bulgaria and is co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union (project code: 2021-1-RO01-KA220-YOU-000029207).
It aims to equip youth workers with entrepreneurial skills, including the concept of the ethical and financial issues associated with Fair Trade. The project activities will enable to provide assistance to young people who are facing obstacles entering the labor market and thus, are more vulnerable to be at risk of social exclusion.

- to improve employability and promote social inclusion, tolerance, respect for diversity, and non-discrimination;
- to tackle youth unemployment;
- to raise awareness among youth in partner countries about the idea of Fair Trade;
- to promote the idea of entrepreneurial spirit.
Our mission is to assist you:
- at understanding how actions and decisions taken by you can have an influence not only on your life but also on the life of people in European countries and around the world;
- at getting awareness that Fair Trade is the starting point to reflect on such issues as global justice, sustainable development, ethical, conscious consumption.

In the world, especially in countries of Western Europe (Great Britain, the Netherlands, Scandinavian countries), the Fair Trade movement is quite common. We can observe different levels of awareness concerning the concept of Fair Trade in partner countries (Romania, Poland and Bulgaria) that are involved in this project.
Fair Trade is a trading partnership, based on dialogue, transparency, and respect, that seeks greater equity in international trade. It contributes to sustainable development by offering better trading conditions to and securing the rights of marginalized producers and workers – especially in poorer countries.
Fair Trade organizations (supported by consumers) are actively involved in fostering producers, raising awareness, and organizing campaigns concerning changes of principles and practices of traditional international trade.
Fair Trade slowly begins to occupy a similar position in public awareness as the economy, what is more, it could be stated that it is a new ethic of the economy.
It has also become increasingly popular in Eastern Europe, and we want to be part of this change!
