Current Project Please see VIDEA's upcoming events for our current project Past projects We worked hard to educate our community and schools about the need to understand who is working to create the products we consume and support fairly traded initiatives. We brought the One-Month Challenge to our schools, changing the purchasing of our peers, teachers and parents!   Interview on CBC Radio One and Shaw TV  On Halloween, in 2008, we took to the streets for a Reverse Trick-or-Treat, knocking on doors, educating the surprised home owners about fair trade products, even giving out free fair trade chocolate from Cocoa Camino! Dare to be Fair Fest was a fun event to celebrate fair trade and promote local high school bands We acknowledge the financial assistance of the Province of British Columbia.
