Fairtrade Fortnight is a national campaign held in early spring each year by the Fairtrade Foundation and offers an opportunity for fairtrade events, publicity, meetings and exhibitions throughout the country. The Reading Fairtrade Steering Group organises activities in Reading each year to support the Fairtrade fortnight campaign.
Each year the campaign is themed to focus on important issues.
Reading International Festival is a season of events held each autumn that celebrate Reading’s diverse communities and action groups. The programme highlights the many internationalist activities, twinning links and solidarity in Reading. The festival showcases positive examples of people changing the status quo by choosing to live and act to create a better world for all:
- where people live in peace free from wars and violence
- where no one is illegal and refugees are welcome
- free from environmental destruction
- where resources are shared and people are free to feed themselves
- where all human rights are respected.
The Festival includes Black History Month and One World Week events.
