The event was part of a university\/NGO partnership initiative spearheaded by Professor Darryl Reed, coordinator of York\u2019s Business &amp; Society Program (BUSO). <\/P><br \/>\n<P>The workshop brought together academics with fair trade\/no-sweat organizations throughout the country, including representatives from Oxfam Canada, Ten Thousand Villages, <FONT face=\"Times New Roman\">\u00c9<\/FONT>quiterre, La Siembra, Planet Bean, TransFair Canada and the York Catholic District School Board. <\/P><br \/>\n<P>The workshop aimed to lay the groundwork for a series of research projects designed to address the practical needs of fair trade\/no-sweat NGOs. In the morning session, NGO representatives raised the issues that they felt required the most attention, and in the afternoon session, a roundtable discussion was held about possible projects designed to address these issues. <\/P><br \/>\n<P>The NGOs asserted their need to have more empirical work conducted on the fair trade market in Canada; more systematic research carried out to demonstrate the benefits and weaknesses of fair trade in the South; and a national network created to link the NGOs and provide a forum for greater communication between them. <\/P><br \/>\n<P>To address the issues raised by the NGOs, the participants discussed a number of possible components for research projects. The project concepts will be explored and developed into research proposals. <\/P><br \/>\n<P>The fair trade workshop and research agenda are part of a broader initiative at York \u2013 the University Consortium on the Global South (UCGS). One of the basic purposes of the UCGS is to bring together development scholars from York\u2019s many different programs and research centres, as well as from other universities in Canada, to explore developmental issues and formulate new strategies. This was reflected in the range of the academics participating in the workshop.<\/P><B><br \/>\n<P>Workshop participants<\/B> <\/P><br \/>\n<P><IMG hspace=\"8\" src=\"http:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/photos\/20040705\/2FT.V.
