The Great Trade Debate
When: Wednesday 25th February 2009 - 7-9pm
Where: Reardon Smith Theatre, National Museum Cardiff, Cathays Park, Cardiff, CF10 3NP
Can trade be both free and fair? Come along and debate the issue with a panel of experts during Fairtrade Fortnight.
In this debate we hope to explore the arguments around whether fair trade is actually fair and whether free trade can ever help reduce poverty.
It will be chaired by Jane Davidson AM, Minister for Environment, Sustainability and Housing.
Speakers include: Mark Varney, Head of Business Development, Fairtrade Foundation; Benedict Southworth, Director, World Development Movement; Peter Griffiths, author The Economist’s Tale; and Alec van Gelder, Network Director, International Policy Network.
