On July 2, 2009, Integra Foundation and the Development Research Center (DRC) organised a discussion forum in Sofia on the topic " The developing countries and the fair trade movement in the light of the financial and economic crises". The discussion was attended by representatives of Bulgarian NGDOs and the Trade Union Podkrepa.
Three papers were presented to the discussion forum, about:
- the impact of the crises on the economy of Bulgaria and its development cooperation activities;
- new tendencies in the fair trade movement; and
- the development of fair trade in Bulgaria under the present conditions.
The discussion contributed to the further analysis of these topics, to an exchange of ideas and opinions about the role of development cooperation under the conditions of the crises and the contribution NGOs can make. In addition, the participants of the discussion underlined the need to closer work with such target groups as students and young people in order to obtain further understanding of new tendencies and support in the future implementation of development cooperation in Bulgaria.
