‚Faires‘ Forum beeindruckte durch tolle Projekte

Moers. (pst) ‚Fair‘ war das 7. Forum Klima, Umwelt, Naturschutz. In der Hermann-Runge-Gesamtschule (HRG) ging es Anfang März um Fairtrade und Nachhaltigkeit. Das Forum, das Bürgermeister Fleischhauer 2011 initiierte, fand zum ersten Mal außerhalb des Rathauses statt. Die HRG hatte sich auch das Thema gewünscht, weil sie einer der Fairtrade-Schulen sind. Zunächst präsentierte Ehrenamtler Lutz Hartmann den Teilnehmenden aus Politik, Verbänden und Schulen die vielfältigen Aktivitäten der Steuerungsgruppe. Schülerinnen und Schüler berichteten über das Engagement der Hermann-Runge-Schule. Dazu gehören nicht nur der Verkauf von fair gehandelten Nikoläusen oder Rosen am Valentinstag, sondern auch faire T-Shirts für Wandertage oder eine Pause mit fairen Frühstücksprodukten. Geplant ist der Verkauf von entsprechenden Schulmaterialien. Über das erfolgreichste Projekt ‚Pfandtonne‘ referierte eine Lehrerin des Hermann-Gmeiner-Berufskollegs, das seit zehn Jahren ‚Fairtrade-School‘ ist. Leere Flaschen auf den Fluren und in den Klassenräumen gehören dort der Vergangenheit an. Der Erlös geht u. a. an ein Patenkind in Afrika.  Fairtrade muss sichtbarer werden Nach den Impulsvorträgen fand der Workshop der Steuerungsgruppe statt. Hier zeigte sich, wie wichtig eine gute Vernetzung der einzelnen Akteure ist. Vielen fehlen für bestimmte Themen die richtigen Ansprechpartner und der regelmäßige Austausch. Insgesamt muss Fairtrade sichtbarer und erlebbarer werden, um mehr Aufmerksamkeit zu erhalten und die verschiedenen Zielgruppen anzusprechen. Die Teilnehmenden haben einige Ideen gesammelt: Escape Room, Tasting, Social Media - Reihe, Theater als Austauschbühne oder faire Schulverpflegung.  Bildzeile: Das Forum der Hermann-Runge-Gesamtschule war Ort des Treffens für das 7.

On 9th November 1769 The Fenwick Weaver's Co-operative Society, the worlds first co-operative association, was founded.

If you want to believe the English history books they will tell you that the first co-op was founded in Rochdale in 1844, well no it wisnae, the first Co-operative predates it by a good 75 years, when in 1769, local weavers manhandled a sack of oatmeal into John Walker's whitewashed front room and began selling the contents at a discount, forming the Fenwick Weaver's Co-operative Society.

The societies foundations started 8 years before when on 14 March 1761, 16 weavers met together in Fenwick Church to sign the foundation charter of the Fenwick Weavers' Society. By signing the document, they agreed to its terms and conditions. These included 'being honest and faithful to one another' and to their employers, making 'good sufficient' work, and setting prices that were 'neither higher nor lower ... than are accustomed in the towns and parishes of the neighbourhood'.

The society members promised to pay an admission fee of two shillings and sixpence which was to be used for the good of the Society. Regular contributions to the poor fund were made from these shared investments. As well as offering mutual support to its members, the society aimed to bring benefit to the wider community.

On 9 November 1769, the society agreed that its funds should be used to buy, 'victuals', or food, in bulk to be sold to members and non-members at a good price. In addition, members enjoyed the privilege of up to four weeks' credit.

The society funds were also used to buy books and, in 1808, the members established a library for the local community. In the society records, there is also evidence of a form of 'credit union', or community-based bank organised on co-operative principles. People could borrow money from the communal funds at a fixed rate of interest.

Sadly handloom weaving could not resist the advance of the factories and, in 1873, with only three members left, they wound up the Society. However, their memory lives on, both in the descendants of the Weavers now all over the globe, and also in our great world-wide Co-operative Movement with almost a billion co-operators affiliated to the International Co-operative Alliance. The story of those sixteen men of Fenwick will live on as long as we have co- operators.

Today, the co-operative movement has hundreds of millions of members across the world, and is at the forefront of championing Fairtrade and sustainable farming methods

#1. Parting from the Memories of Cambridge

It's been a great first week on Campus at The University of Law in Manchester, where I'll be undertaking the Graduate Diploma in Law as a conversion from my studies in Archaeology at the University of Cambridge. The only issue is that as a resident of Garstang - not Manchester - It's a 3-hour commute each morning and evening. It means between this Diploma and my part-time job, there's very little time for anything. Given the events of the past 18 months, I knew that having any free time would lead to sitting around dwelling on nonsense, but this is getting quite ridiculous. A Summer without Holiday This month marks the one-year point from my election last year as General-Secretary of the United Nations Association - UK Youth Platform. Elections for the leading positions within our charity will be coming up this month, and we can't wait to see how new faces will transform our association in the years to come. Sadly, one of our events this summer had to be cancelled due to a COVID-19 scare. However, our Youth Summit - the crowning achievement of our directors - went off without a hitch, raising £500 for the organisation. Within UN-matters, on my 21st birthday last August I had the pleasure of being invited to the United Nations Association UK - Westminster Conference in London, where I met the lead and event organiser David Wardrop and his aids in a terrific event that saw peace doves flying out in front of Westminster Cathedral! It perhaps marks a wrap up to a fantastic tenure as, for the first time in my life, the leader of something truly great - a charity that seeks to see British youth given the representation that they deserve on the world stage. I also had the pleasure of meeting Barrister Margaret Owens OBE, who has led a wonderful life of advocacy and supporting widows through her charity, Widows for Peace. The month also marks nearly two years of involvement in The Royal British Legion where I've served as Secretary in planning and hosting events and advertising them on radio and television, from Remembrance parades to a funeral ceremony for HRH the late Prince Phillip. Legion work within the city has winded down with another new intake in Cambridge, but I'm honoured to say that my mentor, a Theological scholar and the good Remembrance Padre for TRBL in Cambridge, has graciously offered me the opportunity to lead a Remembrance service this November at the Cathedral in the Isle of Mann. Where some responsibilities fade, new ones appear. This summer I was elected as a Town Councillor for Garstang, Lancashire, and as Fairtrade Ambassador and a member of the town's finance and planning committees. It remains to be seen how the local press takes to me. But as a new addition to the Garstang Theatre Group's Christmas Pantomime, there won't be any shortage of theatricality. Confessions from a Cambridge Graduate For the longest time, I had always seen Cambridge as the 'end game'. I had always loved Ancient Egypt, and since I was invited to the university at age 6 as part of an academic psychological study, I knew that I wanted to study it at Cambridge. There's an endless cache of memories that I have there; Some wonderful, others terrible. I recall a particularly dark moment when my friend and I dressed for what we assumed to be a formal hall as part of our graduation ceremony. Imagine then the shock when I sat down next to a pirate and a man dressed as a sandwich wrapper. Another time I sunk a Kayak with its rider by accidentally ramming into it at full speed on an 8-man rowing boat. But then there was the time I was translating hieroglyphs off an Egyptian sarcophagus in a museum for a silly video, only to turn around and find a whole crowd gathered around me, telling me "Don't stop." and to continue this now-public performance. I smiled a whole lot that day. I think I only decided I wanted to make the switch from studying Archaeology to Law after I had finished my final exams and took to sipping coffee and reading old books from the market each morning like the absolute pseudo-intellectual I was born to be. On this occasion, I was reading Rousseau's The Political Economy. His concept of the Social Contract and the essentiality of law to protect those with neither the power nor family wealth that I had seen myself in Cambridge, really struck a chord with me. That summer I enrolled at the University of Law, where 2 months later I am now beginning my studies. But what was more, I hungrily read Rousseau's autobiography, Confessions, and saw that the architect of this concept was, at least in his youth, faintly similar to myself. Of course, I don't pretend to have anywhere near the same intellectual capacity as him, but let me tell you something about him when he was near my age: Wandering around the Alps, with no career, he fooled a village into thinking he was a travelling composer. He was housed and fed until his debut with the local orchestra, wherein it was made apparent that he had no idea how to conduct, and he was laughed out of the village. What astounds me is that this event actually happened. I don't think I've ever botched something to this extent, but when I read this I felt a definite chord struck- it was as though my soul had been plucked from my body and implanted within the pages of the author's experience. So many times we find ourselves thrown into a situation where it feels like we're surrounded by wolves. Hopelessly inept in most skills that would have given me respect when I entered University, I found myself having to speak before large audiences or professional committees on subjects that I am ill-suited to give, with cracks in my voice and tremours on my fingertips. I've tried confidently playing the piano before I started to learn it, in a mansion in the hopes of impressing the daughter of its owner. I commanded a boat in a university-level rowing race, shouting orders to actual athletes when my race plan notes flew out of my hands into the River Cam (I feigned incomprehensible drill-instructor anger for sensible commands). With no choral or military experience (Beyond my interviews for Dartmouth or time lighting candles as a Chapel Warden), I gave instruction to a Cambridge Choir, the Lord Lieutenant and various armed forces personnel, before leading the entire crowd in prayer. Uncannily similar to the philosopher, the first time I went to a classical concert in Cambridge I clapped at the wrong time and even the orchestra laughed at me! I think what these experiences and those of a young Rousseau can teach, is that we may be overwhelmed with responsibility or the demands of a certain task. We may, or may not, fail so horribly that we are laughed at and derided. Or instead, we may be applauded, envied, and begged: "Don't stop." So much of my time in Cambridge has been draped in melancholy, with the feeling that I was not good enough compared to my peers. Many times it seemed that this was obviously the case, and I was passed up for those who were deemed better. And sometimes, I was exactly, maybe the only, right person. And for all my moments of infamy, I only experienced them because I forced myself to try. Yet it was those moments that made all the studying, and anxiety; regrets, and heartache - worth experiencing. And I think, maybe the humility gained from experiences like these might have, along the way, forged a character suited to protecting others through the Law.

Youre The Flame I Use When It Gets Dark|| Trey&Luce

Trey had gotten the text from Lucy when she had started to tell people about what had happened between Danny and Aubrey. He had talked to her a little bit over text and knew that he had to be there. Before she had even asked he was already at the grocery store in town, buying groceries for his very independent partner.  He had spent so much time with her he could almost figure out the amount she had been saving and what she was left with in her bank account. He didnt want to make a scene about it, but there were only so many days that he could pull her away from Frida and not feel guilty, so dinner at his apartment couldnt happen every night. He perused the isles of the grocery store, phone in hand as he shot her messages. Before he knew it the cart was full. With meat and staples, qunioa and curries, icecream and wine, all local produce and organic greens, cat food and fairtrade coffee. He knew she was running at almost empty and he didnt want her to ever worry about where her next meal was coming from. He checked out filled his 20 reusable grocery bags to the brim. He laughed with the cashier and could not wait to get to Luce.

Trey ran all of the bags up the length of his arms and carried the almost 100 pounds of groceries to the back of his Jeep. He got in the car and made his way to Lord of The Fries, picking up two heaping orders of cheese fries and two shakes, one strawberry one chocolate. Finding his way to Lucys he could not wait to finally get to her. He had been without her for almost a week and it had been so much harder than he realized to be apart from her. The studio had eaten up so much of his time, and writing songs about her had occupied the rest of his mind. To finally be able to be with her was invigorating, like finally getting to eat after a long workout. 

Trey got out of the jeep and grabbed the fries and the shakes before moving his way to her apartment, knocking with his elbow and waiting to hear from her. “come on out my Sunshine” he said with a laugh. Waiting to see her was like waiting for your parents to get up on Christmas morning. When she finally opened the door he offered her fries and pressed his lips against hers before she could say anything. When he finally pulled away he handed her the Fries and kissed her forehead. “be right back” he smirked as he ran back to his car and once again pushed the canvas bags up to almost his shoulders, carrying the enormous weight of the groceries up to her apartment. He smiled and made his way into the kitchen. “thought we could make dinner at home? didnt know what you would want... so I got a little of everything?” he said with a laugh, immediately pulling the frozen bag up onto the counter and putting the frozen things in the freezer before turning to her. He didnt want her to ever feel like he was pitying her, because he wasnt, he just wanted to care for her. So dinner at home was his gift to her, with about 300 dollars of extra supplies.

"And stay out!"

A heavy oak door set below a hanging chain sign opened, and a red-skinned elf flew out, landing on the rough cobblestone street with a thud. A sizeable-- and overfilled-- black rucksack followed suit.

"C'mon, Ermine! You know I'm good for it!" the elf said, beginning to rummage through their pack. "I'll tell you what! I'll even throw in this new-"

"No!" Came the sharp reply, as a silver ferretfolk emerged from the door. Thin, but with a tough, muscular frame, piercing steel-blue eyes, and a long silver braid with a single streak of charcoal grey running through it, Ermine Shatterpaw emerged from her bar; The Snarling Mongoose.

"Ya know the deal! Ya get two nights on yer tab, and if ya don't pay me back the third visit I get to come for ya! So ya better start runnin, Sable, and ya better hope I get tired quick!"

Ermine snarled, ripping from seemingly nowhere a dagger that seemed wickedly sharp. "Ho-hold on, Ermine! How's about some jewelry? Some rings? Gems?" Scrambling backwards, dragging his pack and pulling out handfuls of trinkets, Sable dropped a few glittering bits of miscellaneous treasure.

She took a pause. "It's not coin, but if ya manage to get some by tonight, then I'll consider yer debt done. But if ya don't?" She leaned closer, a dangerous and serious look in her cold grey eyes. "We'll just have to see how well Blood Elf sells tonight."

Sable gulped, not bothering to correct her. "Y-yes, Ermine. Understood." Ermine sighed, and a cloud of cold breath escaped her, despite the humid summer air blanketing the area.

"I like ya, Sable. That's why ya ain't missin nothin yet. I'll tell ya what. Go to Olivia at Fairtrade and tell her I sent ya. She'll give ya a good deal and needs the business; I owe her some favors too. Once yer back I might give ya tonight's meal half off." Sable nodded, accepting the hand Ermine offered and getting to his feet, slinging his pack around his shoulder. "Thanks, Ermine. I'll be back before sundown."

Sable Flaireater left the Snarling Mongoose and turned down a back alley, thankful that it was midafternoon and that most of the town's population was behind their trade stalls or gathering freshwater fish from the nearby Arwynd River. It saved him the embarrassment of the town's eyes, and more importantly, kept his names from their lips.

Most of the town.

"Ehehe! Can't keep ye'self from trouble, eh Misser Sable?" Came a shout from a group of children that appeared from the other end of the alley. Libeth, an otterfolk, was the de facto leader of the group; a rotating cast of beaver, duck, otter, ferret, and lizard folk accompanied her when their parents let them play, but today was joined by an unfamiliar and shy turtle.

"You caught me, Li. I owe Mrs. Shatterpaw a bit of money 'cause I haven't been adventuring lately." Sable patted the coinpurse at his belt and got the jingle of two faded copper coins in response. "I guess I gotta go out today and find a cave or some bandits, otherwise..." A bead of sweat dropped from his brow at the thought; "Shatterpaw" wasn't a last name, but a title.

It's a busy day on the anniversary front, another on is that on 9th November 1769 The Fenwick Weaver's Co-operative Society, the worlds first co-operative association, was founded

If you want to believe the English history books they will tell you that the first co-op was founded in Rochdale in 1844, well no it wisnae, the first Co-operative predates it by a good 75 years, when in 1769, local weavers manhandled a sack of oatmeal into John Walker's whitewashed front room and began selling the contents at a discount, forming the Fenwick Weaver's Co-operative Society.

The societies foundations started 8 years before when on 14 March 1761, 16 weavers met together in Fenwick Church to sign the foundation charter of the Fenwick Weavers' Society. By signing the document, they agreed to its terms and conditions. These included 'being honest and faithful to one another' and to their employers, making 'good sufficient' work, and setting prices that were 'neither higher nor lower ... than are accustomed in the towns and parishes of the neighbourhood'.

The society members promised to pay an admission fee of two shillings and sixpence which was to be used for the good of the Society. Regular contributions to the poor fund were made from these shared investments. As well as offering mutual support to its members, the society aimed to bring benefit to the wider community.

On 9 November 1769, the society agreed that its funds should be used to buy, 'victuals', or food, in bulk to be sold to members and non-members at a good price. In addition, members enjoyed the privilege of up to four weeks' credit.

The society funds were also used to buy books and, in 1808, the members established a library for the local community. In the society records, there is also evidence of a form of 'credit union', or community-based bank organised on co-operative principles. People could borrow money from the communal funds at a fixed rate of interest.

Sadly handloom weaving could not resist the advance of the factories and, in 1873, with only three members left, they wound up the Society. However, their memory lives on, both in the descendants of the Weavers now all over the globe, and also in our great world-wide Co-operative Movement with almost a billion co-operators affiliated to the International Co-operative Alliance. The story of those sixteen men of Fenwick will live on as long as we have co- operators.

Today, the co-operative movement has hundreds of millions of members across the world, and is at the forefront of championing Fairtrade and sustainable farming methods
