Choose the world you want Festival Terms and FAQs

The Choose The World You Want festival is part of Fairtrade Fortnight 2022.

The festival runs for two weeks from 21 February to 6 March 2022 and consists of live online events and ‘on-demand’ content, created by the Fairtrade Foundation and its partner organisations, brands and campaigner groups. These Festival Terms and FAQs (‘frequently asked questions’) apply when you join any online events described below.

For two weeks each year, at the end of February and start of March, thousands of individuals, companies and groups across the UK come together to share the stories and highlight the challenges of the people who grow our food and drink.

During Fairtrade Fortnight 2022, we’re highlighting the growing challenges that climate change brings to farmers and workers in the communities Fairtrade works with, many of whom currently are on the front line of the climate crisis.

All the Fairtrade Foundation events will be held online, however some events organised by other organisations and campaigner groups that support Fairtrade may be in person.

The funds raised this Fairtrade Fortnight will support the Fairtrade Foundation with its charitable objectives in a number of crucial ways, including:

1. Building sustainable livelihoods: your support allows us to bring Fairtrade to more farmers and workers, so they can receive a fairer deal for their produce and their community, and invest in their future.
2. Building climate crisis resilience: your donations mean that we can stand with and support farmers as they build up critical resilience to devastating climate shocks, such as floods, and crises like the current global pandemic.
3. Building the world you want to see: your support also helps us to fund many other essential projects, including advocacy at government and international trade level, increasing demand for Fairtrade products among businesses and the public, and supporting farming communities in a variety of ways to successfully trade their way out of poverty. 

We are so grateful for your generous support, which allows us to work together to end inequality.
