Fairtrade in Focus: Bayreuth Discusses Fair Trade and Lived Responsibility

The Bayreuth City Talk on November 4, 2026, brings together people at the Iwalewahaus of the University of Bayreuth who understand Fairtrade not just as a buzzword but as a social task. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Fairtrade University Bayreuth, an evening full of exchange, impulses, and perspectives on fair trade, sustainability, and campus engagement is being created.

An Evening with Attitude and Dialogue Culture

When engaged students, university representatives, and interested guests meet at the Iwalewahaus, more than just a lecture evening arises. The event focuses on proximity, dialogue, and a vibrant audience atmosphere. The central question is how fair trade remains visible in everyday life, education, and the region.

Anniversary with Signal Effect

The University of Bayreuth has officially been able to call itself a Fairtrade University since 2016. The city talk follows this path and marks the 10th anniversary of this award. Particularly striking: The anniversary certificate will be presented during the evening by Dieter Overath, the former managing director of Fairtrade Deutschland e. V. This gives the evening clear substantive and symbolic depth.

Impulse, Discussion, Exchange

After the short impulses on the topic of Fair Trade, the space opens for a joint discussion round. This is precisely where the event experience unfolds its strength: asking questions, sharing experiences, and taking away new perspectives. For visitors interested in sustainability, social engagement, and university initiatives, the evening offers many points of connection.

The Venue: Iwalewahaus with an Open Atmosphere

The Iwalewahaus at Wölfelstraße 2 is well connected as an event venue and easily accessible for many from the city center. Its location near the University of Bayreuth creates the right framework for a topic that connects scientific, cultural, and social aspects. On-site seating, a cloakroom, Wi-Fi, sanitary facilities, and barrier-free access ensure professional organization.

Who Will Benefit from the City Talk

The format is aimed at adults, families, students, youth, and seniors alike. The mix of expertise, local grounding, and open target group communication makes the city talk an event for anyone interested in fair trade and sustainable development. Free admission further lowers the barrier and invites spontaneous visits.

Conclusion: The Bayreuth City Talk on Fairtrade combines anniversary celebration, expert input, and genuine participation. Those who want to not only discuss sustainability but experience it should be present live at this event in the Iwalewahaus.
