Leeds: Shared Earth`s next Network Night
Shared Earth`s next Network Night will take place on March 18th 6.30-8pm.
Ex Leeds Shared Earth shop Manager Debbie Fletcher returns to organise a Network Night at Leeds shop.
The theme will be centred around fair trade in schools. We have some great speakers coming along, and entertainment is being kindly supplied by Gledhow Primary African Choir you may have heard of them before, as they performed for Nelson Mandela when he visited Leeds! As well as this, we shall have, as usual, fair trade wine, coffee, juice, and nibbles a plenty!
The speakers we have lined up include someone from Leeds Development Education Centre, who will be talking about how schools can work towards becoming fair trade certified, also a fair trade assessor will be explaining about how to ensure you put in a good application, and we shall also have staff from a local school who have already received fair trade status,. All these people will be onhand to chat to guests and give advice and talk about their experiences.
This is also an opportunity for those of you who would like to network with schools and people involved in education in general whether it be in fair trade or in the global dimension of education, as well as finding contacts for things such as giving workshops to schools, talks, even setting up a stall during a school event.
Finally it is an invitation to all supporters of Shared Earth here in Leeds, to come along and share a social evening with staff and friends of the branch, as well as network with like minded people. We anticipate this will be an even more popular event this time round, and we would love you to come along and be part of it!
Please feel free to bring along anyone who you think would be interested in attending too, we love to see new faces, and if you would like anymore information feel free to email leeds@sharedearth.co.uk or call the shop. Alternatively email the shop through our facebook page.
I hope to see you on the 18th!
