Fair. Local. Engaged.: Experience Karlsruhe's Fair Diversity

On Saturday, September 26, 2026, the Fairtrade City Karlsruhe invites you, together with the Action One World e.V., to an open information and action area in front of the World Shop Karlsruhe. From 11 to 1 PM, visitors will discover how diverse fair trade, sustainable consumption, and local engagement come together in the fan-shaped city.

Market Atmosphere in Front of the World Shop

In front of the World Shop on Lammstraße, a lively meeting point for exchange, information, and enjoyment is created. Active groups, clubs, and initiatives from the Karlsruhe One World network present their work and make global sustainability goals tangible in the local context. The open design invites market-goers to stop by spontaneously, ask questions, and learn about new perspectives.

Sampling Fairtrade Products and Conscious Shopping

Delicious Fairtrade products bring taste and origin together. With a cup of fair-trade coffee, visitors engage in conversation with activists and learn more about fair supply chains, sustainable consumption, and the importance of conscious purchasing decisions. The World Shop serves as a specialty store for fair-trade food, handicrafts, clothing, and other goods from different regions of the world.

Latin American Music and Personal Encounters

Latin American music accompanies the shopping experience and creates an open, inviting market atmosphere. The focus is not on quick shopping, but on meeting, education, and the people behind the engagement. Interactive offerings vividly demonstrate how producers, initiatives, the urban community, and local specialty stores strengthen fair structures together.

Karlsruhe as a Fairtrade City

Karlsruhe has held the title of Fairtrade City since 2010 and was awarded again in 2026. The city combines municipal engagement with educational work, civil society initiatives, and the offerings of the World Shop. The Fair Weeks make this regional diversity visible and provide insights into the work of direct marketers, One World groups, associations, and other actors for global justice.
