The HiT-hjørnet project is ended for now. Thanks to everyone who has visited us and shown their interest in Fairtrade. We will still keep the Fairtrade projects going on all of HSN campuses, as we're now working to get the whole school Fairtrade certified. Please check out our Fairtrade page to keep updated on our activities. https://www.facebook.com/fairtradetelemark/?fref=ts

Today students at HiT-hjørnet met to discuss the important topic of how to spread the word of Fairtrade and how to involve more people in our project. Maybe you know a group/class/organisation that would like to visit us to learn more about Fairtrade? Please let us know and we can arrange it for you.

HiT-hjørnet is open again. You are welcome to explore what Fairtrade has to offer in 2016.

Thanks for stopping by HiT-hjørnet in 2015. Looking forward to seeing you again in 2016.

Opening day!!!

Fairtrade news: HiT-hjørnet/College Corner in Porsgrunn has been promoting Fairtrade to the local community and selling Fairtrade products and textiles from Guatemala from October 15, 2014-June 20, 2015. On the final day before closing for the 2015 summer, the student workers gathered for a Farewell Pizza Party at the locale. Students unanimously agreed that the work experience was educationally and culturally enriching: a celebration of Fairtrade for Telemark University College.

Vi inviterer til spennende halvdagsseminar om samfunnsansvar, etikk og rettferdig handel.

(You are invited to an engaging seminar with a focus on responsible business, ethics, and fair trade. Seminar themes: ethical design; conscious flower enterprise; Fairtrade and Norway; Fairtrade and students.) Er det riktig at mennesker arbeider under helsemessig uforsvarlige forhold og tjener nesten ingenting for at vi i Vesten skal få billigst mulig varer? Selvfølgelig ikke! Men hva kan vi gjøre for å sikre rettferdig handel og etisk forretningsdrift? (Is it acceptable that working conditions for some people are dangerous and wages are minimal so that the western world may have easy access to cheap goods? Of course not! What can we do to secure fair trade and ethical business procedures?)

The Mayor of Porsgrunn at HiT-hjørnet

On Friday 30th of January 2015, we welcomed the International Baccalaureate-final year students from the Porsgrunn Upper Secondary School at HiT-hjørnet. Presentations on Fairtrade were given.

A lot of folks stopped by at the center today, including TUC staff. It was great having them round.

Fairtrade products available at the center

Fairtrade is helping women from Guatemala sell their handmade textile products at fair prices to improve their lives and community. You can get some of these at HiT-hjørnet .

HiT-hjørnet (College Corner), formerly known locally as Capri, a historical building centrally located in Porsgrunn (Storgt 145) and owned by Porsgrunn Municipality. In collaboration with Telemark University College, HiT-hjørnet is today, devoted to promoting Fairtrade and global responsibility for reducing poverty through everyday shopping. HiT-hjørnet, tidligere kjent som Capri, et historisk bygg i Porsgrunn sentrum (Storgt 145), er eid av Porsgrunn kommune. Sammen med Høgskolen i Telemark, skal HiT-hjørnet øke kjennskap til og kunnskap om Fairtrade--rettferdig handel. Målsetting er å støtte en mer rettferdig og bærekraftig verden, ved å kjøpe Fairtrade produkter.
