Discover the fair run: Get to know favorite shops in the Akacienkiez in a playful way

in the heart of Berlin, in the lively acacia kiez, there is an exciting event that attracts both residents and visitors. The fair run is an innovative way of discovering the variety and offers from local retailers who are involved in the field of fair trade. At this event, a total of seven participating shops present their products that range from fair T-shirt to the delicious fair trade chocolate.

The fair run itself is more than just a simple foray through shops. It is aimed at everyone who is equipped with a so -called fair pass to explore the participating station transactions. Every time you visit a station, the participants receive a sticker for their passport, and with four collected stickers, a little surprise attracts. This playful approach should promote awareness of fair products and at the same time strengthen local retail.

insight into the event

On September 13, 2024, the start of the fair run will be officially celebrated. The participants have the opportunity not only to stroll through the shops, but also to get to know the background and corporate concepts. On this day, three of the retailers - the fashion label UVR Berlin, the children's shop "Klix - Little things" and the chocolaterie Estrellas - will present their ideas and commitment to fair trade. Laura Jäger from the Fair Handel Berlin campaign alliance will also give a brief overview of the principles of fair trade.

A special highlight is the tasting of fair chocolate, which takes place after the presentations. This not only offers a delicious way to learn more about the products, but also an opportunity for discussions and networking between entrepreneurs, interested parties and the district mayor.

The fair run gives sustainable economy retailers in the Akazienkiez the opportunity to present their principles and products to a broader public. The event aims to open up new customer groups and promote awareness of fair trade goods. At the same time, the pioneering role of Tempelhof-Schöneberg is further strengthened as a Fairtrade Town by such local initiatives.

If you want to learn more about the participating stations, you will find an overview on the website of the Fair Handel Berlin campaign alliance. Registration for the event is simply via an online form.

The importance of such events goes beyond the exchange of information and products. They help promote sustainable shopping culture and to support the commitment to fair trade practices while at the same time revitalizing the local economy. The fair run is a step in the right direction to combine healthy consumption behavior and social responsibility.
