Fair Trade Week 2026

From September 11 to 25, all of Germany focuses on Fair Trade:Fair Trade Week 2026 invites everyone to explore the many facets of a more equitable global economy. This year’s theme, "Fair Trade – Experiencing Diversity," shines a spotlight on the voices, real-life experiences, and perspectives of young people.

Diversity enriches our shared lives. It opens up new viewpoints, enables mutual learning, and forms the bedrock of a vibrant society. Yet around the world, diversity faces pressure from social inequality, ecological crises, and exclusion. Young people in particular are searching for ways to not only defend diversity, but to actively live it out every day.
