What we do
NSC works in solidarity with Nicaraguan organisations and social movements fighting for social and economic justice by promoting and seeking support for their activities.
How we do it
We organise speaker tours of the UK
We co-ordinate speaker tours of the UK by representatives of our Nicaraguan partner organisations. For example, Nicaraguan Fairtrade producer Norma Gadea Paiva visited England and Scotland from 27 February - 11 March, 2012 to speak to Fairtrade activists and women's organisations and to promote Fairtrade organic coffee grown by women farmers.
