Fair Trade Communities
Fair Trade Communities play a vital role in the Fair Trade movement. Fair Trade Communities are schools, faith groups, universities and workplaces that bring groups of individuals together to support Fair Trade.
Fair Trade Communities are endorsed by the Fair Trade Association to recognise their commitment to the Fair Trade movement.
How do communities support the movement?
Fair Trade Communities support the movement by educating their community and promoting Fair Trade by:
- using Fair Trade products
- organising Fair Trade events
- participating in campaigns to engage and inform community members about social justice

Fair Trade Schools
The Fair Trade Association works with primary and secondary schools throughout Australia to promote the Fair Trade Movement.
Becoming a Fair Trade School is a great way of acknowledging a commitment to Fair Trade and teaching students more about how products are made or grown. Raising the next generation to be aware of the human and environmental impacts of their purchasing choices can help shape a better future.
If you would like resources to assist in teaching about fair trade, you can check out our Resources page.
Fair Trade Faith Groups
The Fair Trade Association has a number of recognised Fair Trade Faith Groups throughout Australia. Being recognised as a Fair Trade Faith Group means demonstrating a commitment to supporting Fair Trade through using Fair Trade products and raising awareness.
We have a number of fair trade faith groups across Australia, if you are interested in getting in touch with one of them, please contact the Association so that we can assist you.
Fair Trade Universities
Fair Trade Workplaces
The Fair Trade Association works with workplaces throughout Australia to grow the Fair Trade Movement.
Fair Trade Workplaces are workplaces that have been recognised by the Fair Trade Association for their ongoing support for Fair Trade.
Becoming an endorsed Fair Trade Workplace is a great way of acknowledging a commitment to Fair Trade. It also enables offices and workplaces that are promoting Fair Trade to have their work recognised.
On receiving recognition, a Fair Trade Workplace receives a certificate and a logo for your website acknowledging your achievement. Flyers and posters are available as well as on-going support and updates from the Fair Trade Association.
