Fairtrade Ambassadors - We Need YOU!























Dear Fairtrade Supporter

As part of our aims this year to get more speakers into schools and workplaces, the Bristol Fairtrade Network is aiming to set up a team of Fairtrade Ambassadors in the City.

Our first training will focus on schools, with the aim of being able to provide a speaker to support the screening of 'Our Big FT Adventure' which Unchosen are planning to bring to high schools in Bristol in Nov/Dec, as well as being able to respond to requests from schools and other groups for talks/workshops during Fairtrade Fortnight. This would be a huge boost to our Fairtrade schools work and a great way to spread the word about Fairtrade in the City.

We are planning the first training session on Saturday 26th September 10-1.30pm and it would be great if you can be involved.

If you would prefer to only speak to a certain age group or only go into workplaces, not schools, or have time availability limitations, that is absolutely fine, you can specify that on the day. The training will cover basic Fairtrade presentations and also some fun games and exercises that can be used with different ages. It will be relaxed and fun and refreshments will be provided.

If you are interested and can attend the training, please let me know by 10th August so we can see what numbers we have and plan an appropriate venue.

Many thanks and I hope you can become an Ambassador!
All good wishes

Jenny
