Swap the System by Scottish Fair Trade

May 11, 2026

Scottish Fair Trade has launched Swap the System: a bold, youth-led campaign exploring how we can move towards a fairer, more sustainable economy. 

Co-created with young people, the campaign highlights eight simple “swaps” – from prioritising people over profit to choosing long-term sustainability over short-term gain. Through short films, creative content and a zine, it brings fresh energy and new voices into the Fair Trade movement. 

At its heart, Swap the System is about collective action, recognising that real change comes not just from individual choices, but from working together to reshape the systems around us. 

You can explore the campaign, watch the films and contribute to the next zine online. 

Printed copies of the zine are also available for events and community spaces.
