From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Artisans du monde is a French network of local fair trade associations, currently the most important non-profit fair trade movement in France. The first associations were founded in 1974, and their number then increased to reach 170 today. Most of them manage a local fair trade shop, but their tasks include also consumers' sensibilisation, and educational interventions in schools.
The Fédération Artisans du Monde, a non-profit federation of all the local associations based in Paris, represents them and coordinates their activities. It owns the majority of the capital of Solidar'Monde, a fair trade corporation which provides most of the products sold in the local shops of the Artisans du Monde network. The Fédération Artisans du Monde is a member of the French Plate-forme française pour le commerce équitable, and of the International Fair Trade Association.
