Bolzano World Shop
In the flickering light of the campfire
In a suburb of Damascus in Syria, in the flickering light of a campfire, two friends reflect on the contradictions in many countries of the Global South: wonderful handcrafted products, lush coffee plantations, and the joyful laughter of children go hand in hand with widespread poverty, disease, and exploitation.
This is the beginning of the story of the Bolzano World Shop: inspired by the recently opened World Shop in Brixen, a vision emerged to found a World Shop in Bolzano as well, in order to enable disadvantaged producers to lead a life of dignity through Fair Trade.
In May 1985, the time had come: the second World Shop in Italy opened in Bolzano, where it has since become an indispensable part of the city. The profits generated are invested in the expansion of Fair Trade, awareness-raising work, and the opening of further World Shops in Italy.
A step into the World Shop is a step toward a better world.
