Fair Week 2025 in Jena
From September 12 to 26, 2025, the city of Jena will once again be taking part in the nationwide Fair Trade Week. Under the motto "Discover the diversity of fair trade together!", numerous activities invite you to explore new ways of promoting fair trade, conscious consumption and global responsibility.
The diversity of commitment will also be visible in Jena: local initiatives, stores and associations will set an example for a fairer world. The specialist store Contigo is opening its doors for show roasts, fair tastings and special events about coffee, chocolate and sustainable products.
On Sunday, September 14, an information event on food rescue will take place in Jena from 4 to 5 pm. Organized by Foodsharing Jena, a visit to a Fairteiler in the Frei(t)raum (university building, Carl-Zeiß-Straße 3) will offer insights into the practical work of the initiative. It shows how community involvement can conserve resources and promote a more conscious approach to food. Further information on the contact point can be found at: foodsharing.de/fairteiler/141
