Taste the World

The University of Dundee will mark Fair Trade Fortnight with a "Taste the World" event on Monday March 10.

Two Ghanaian cocoa farmers will be present to tell visitors how the Fairtrade Foundation has helped them to market their produce through a local co-operative and receive a fair price for their beans.

There will also be the opportunity to taste chocolate, coffee and wine which carries the FAIRTRADE mark, watch a video presentation and buy some Fairtrade goods.

The event takes place from 5.30 to 7.30pm in the Bonar Hall, Park Place. All are welcome. For more information, contact Ashley Cummins a.cummins@dundee.ac.uk
