Workshops
There will be five workshop streams available for participation in.
Each person will be able to attend one workshop from each stream as follows:
Education
These workshops will be designed to provide students with the foundation of
knowledge necessary to prepare for effective action and organising. The workshops
will aim to educate participants about both the history of Fair Trade and Fair
Trade movements as well as current trends and initiatives.
Activation
This set of workshops will allow students to build on the knowledge from the
first workshop set and begin formulating ideas for action on their own campuses
and communities. Activation workshops seek to provide participants with the
skills and resources necessary to expand demand for Fair Trade and raise awareness
about the global justice movement.
Empowerment
The empowerment workshops are an opportunity for students to personalise the
Fair Trade movement and explore what aspects of the movement they are touched
by. These workshops also seek to situate Fair Trade in the context of the global
justice movement and emphasise the international impact of their organising.
Effective campaigning
The aim of these workshops is to broaden individuals' campaigning skills base
by focusing on specific topics. Whether groups are just beginning, or have been
active for a number of years, there are skills for all to learn in this stream,
ranging from the strategic and visionary to the practical and creative.
Beyond tea and coffee
The aim of these workshops is to encourage people to think broadly about trade
justice and explore alternative avenues to put ethical purchasing into practice.
Fair Trade presents a challenge that is more than just choosing a type of tea
or coffee, but can encourage a lifestyle response to trade injustice that re-orients
our lives to minimalise the harmful impact we have upon others and the world
around us.
National Strategy Planning Workshops
The aim of these workshops are to begin to plan what will form
the backbone of Hooked's strategy for the rest of the year, as decided upon
by state leaders. The information and tactics learned over the weekend should
inform the planning process, and the opportunity of having students committed
to trade justice together in the one place would be incomplete without such
a s session.
