We, founders of Buna, are preparing Meetings with fair coffee for different
groups of listeners for more than two years now. At these meetings we explain
how Fair Trade system works and we use coffee as a perfect example, since it is
still the most important raw material within Fair Trade system. People all over
the world drink coffee every day. Because we want customers to stop taking
coffee and trade for granted, we founded Buna cooperative, within which we will
promote products, services and projects aimed to achieve precisely this
objective.
TINE ČOKLOne day Tine looked into a cup od coffee and realized that he doesn’t know much about this ancient beverage. This revelation set him on the path of discovering the secrets behind our daily companion. Today he pampers his guests in Café Čokl with coffee from Fair Trade system, which he roasts himself and prepares in various different ways.
In Buna cooperative he assumed a role of president who will continually research coffee and all the different ways we can use it without taking away its personality. |
ŽIVA LOPATIČ
Živa has been working in communication, leadership and planning. On her
path she ran into Fair Trade and joined the movement. She quickly realized that
the awareness about Fair Trade in Slovenia is still low, so she decided to
change that and encourage Slovenes to start deciding to use products made
according with Fair Trade principles more often.
Today she runs the only Fair Trade store in Slovenia, 3MUHE. She is in constant contact with Fair Trade producers and buyers. In Buna cooperative she will handle business matters, communication and events – inclunding the traditional Meetings with fair coffee. |
