Workshops
What does ‘gender’ mean in Fairtrade farms?
Fairtrade Africa is currently working in collaboration with Fairtrade International and the other Producer Networks (CLAC from Latin American and NAP from Asia) to define a gender strategy for the system. As part of this process FTA will carry out a workshop in order to get input from its members. The aim is twofold: to exchange experiences among producers on the relationship of gender and key topics like health, education, production and economy, leadership and participation in Fairtrade producer organizations (POs) in Africa and to collect inputs towards the development of a diagnostic and a strategy that allows increased gender equality within the POs in Africa and the wider Fairtrade system in general.
Who can attend: Producers

Media training
During the A one-day training, Fairtrade producers will learn how to make the most of media opportunities. The session will include both theoretical and practical sections, whereby mock interviews are set up. After the workshop, producers will have a better knowledge of the media landscape, know how best to prepare for an interview and have learned techniques to guarantee the best results.
