Fair Trade Event 2023: Prime Minister Anke Rehlinger Endorses Saarland's Equitable Commerce
**Tour-de-Fair 2023: Celebrating Fair Trade and Sustainability in Saarland**
This summer, Saarland is set to host the Tour-de-Fair 2023, a cycling tour that aims to promote fair trade and sustainable consumption. Marking its 20th anniversary, the event will see 30 cyclists from various federal states pedalling through several cities in Saarland, including Homburg, St. Wendel, Tholey, Losheim am See, Merzig, Dillingen, Saarlouis, St. Ingbert, Neunkirchen, and Saarbrücken.
The Tour-de-Fair 2023 is organised by Action 3.Welt Saar, a group dedicated to development cooperation, global justice, and fair trade promotion. The event's objective is to support and make more visible the fair trade shops in Saarland, while raising awareness of the benefits of fair trade and ethical consumption.
Action 3.Welt Saar's involvement ensures that the Tour-de-Fair 2023 is not just a celebration of fair trade products, but also a stimulus for political and social discourse around trade justice, sustainability, and global inequality. The group acts as a regional hub linking local civil society, fair trade organisations, and producers to foster awareness and action on these issues.
Minister President Anke Rehlinger will join the cyclists on August 2nd, underscoring the importance of fair trade in Saarland. The Tour-de-Fair will also visit the oldest fair trade shop in Saarland, which recently celebrated its 40th anniversary, in Losheim am See on the same day.
Fair trade in Germany and Saarland is turning 50 in 2023, making the Tour-de-Fair 2023 even more significant. Gertrud Selzer, from the board of Action 3.Welt Saar, emphasized the importance of the two development policy networks, Action 3.Welt Saar and the Network for Development Policy, working together and contributing their expertise.
The Tour-de-Fair 2023 will take place between July 31st and August 6th. For more information about the event, visit the Action 3.Welt Saar or Tour-de-Fair websites. For further details, contact Roland Röder from Action 3.Welt Saar.
The Tour-de-Fair 2023 is a key regional platform for promoting fair trade ideals and sustainable consumption in Saarland. It connects consumers with fair trade practices through education, community events, and direct engagement. With the support of Action 3.Welt Saar, the event promises to be an enlightening and engaging experience for all participants.
Visitors to the Tour-de-Fair 2023 can explore various home-and-garden vendors offering sustainable living solutions, demonstrating the event's commitment to promoting a lifestyle that respects the environment.
