This Fairtrade Fortnight Reading University Fairtrade
Society and Reading University Women’s Campaign are hosting a Fairtrade Fashion
Show! The show will take place on the 9th of March in 3sixty.
On the night, in addition to a catwalk featuring local
Fairtrade clothes and accessories, we will have dresses designed by students
using Fairtrade material. If anybody would like to make a dress please contact
the Fairtrade Society.
There will also be performances from the Bellydance and
Singer Songwriter Societies and stalls organised by the Women’s
Campaign, Travel Society, RUDDIYS, Campus Central and Traidcraft. This includes a
clothes swap and Fairtrade baskets for sale!
The show aims to promote awareness of Fairtrade during
Fairtrade Fortnight. This year’s national campaign is “Take a Step” towards
going Fairtrade and we hope to spread the word! Fairtrade cotton is one of the
least bought Fairtrade products in the UK, but through raising awareness at
events like this we hope that this will change!
This year’s campaign run by the Women’s Campaign intends
to spread the body positive word by way of a poster campaign on campus and
through the Fashion Show. The campaign aims to alleviate our doubts about our
looks, and to promote variety and diversity in style and outward appearance.
