In the first day, we met two people who work there. They did a very interesting presentation explaining us what is Emaús, what Emaús does, what the fair trade is...
We learnt that their aim is to give fair salaries to people who works in bad conditions and have difficulties to get money. They work mostly with homeless people. They also try to facilitate the market to grow fair trade products and enable producers to sell to people who buy fair trade products. So, this people who works on Emaús try to convince other people to buy fair trade products so that people who has difficulties or work in bad condition can earn a fair salaries. Just to know more about this project they explain that are shops or different places where fair trade products are sold in our areas.
The second time that we met them, both classes met in the same class with them and we did a video conference with a girl who is working on a project which is related with fair trade, specially, with TARA project. We made her some interesting questions and she gave us the answer with long explanations.
Our sensations were really good. The presentations were very interesting and it was an easy way to learn more about a new NGO,
