Universities

The FTAANZ recognises the importance of mobilising university students in support of fair trade on campuses and in the surrounding communities.

Student activism in support of fair trade has been vital to the growth of markets for fair trade products overseas and in educating citizens about fair trade and ethical consumption.

FTAANZ is currently pursuing this project through collaborating with and supporting Hooked, a separate not-for-profit organisation that has emerged from the FTAANZ.

See also the Law Students for Fair Trade project - an independent initiative linked to Hooked.

Hooked - Students for Fair Trade

Hooked is a not-for-profit organisation, set up in Australia in 2005, to network and facilitate student activism in support of fair trade.

The FTAANZ works closely with Hooked as part of its strategy for mobilising fair trade support from universities in Australia and New Zealand.
