On July 18, 2015, fair trade towns from across the globe took part in Fair Trade Live to raise awareness of fair trade among world leaders, local mayors and the media.
The video I have uploaded here is just the first 8 minutes of a longer discussion that took place in Kumamoto. I provide English summaries of key points as the discussion progresses. If you are interested in seeing more, you can either watch the entire video on line or download it to watch on another device at

Actually, the “live” part of Fair Trade Live did not work due to technical difficulties. Nonetheless, communities around the world succeeded in raising consciousness about fair trade. I hope to post more about the issue in the near future.
