If the only way to start your day is with a coffee then get celebrating. October 1st 2023 sees the return of International Coffee Day, a day when Nations come together to raise a mug to one of the UK’s best loved imports.
On this year’s International Coffee Day (ICD) – 1 October 2023 – the ICO and ILO are jointly launching the #CoffeePeople campaign and a social media challenge around the theme “promoting the right to a safe and healthy working environment in the coffee supply chain.” A celebration of the coffee sector’s diversity, quality and dedication, International Coffee Day is an opportunity for coffee lovers to share their passion for the beverage and acknowledge and support the work of millions of coffee farmers, as well of all those women and men engaged in producing, trading, retailing, and serving coffee.
International Coffee Day in 2020 launched a programme to support the next generation of young women and men in coffee, bringing their innovative ideas to life to benefit the whole coffee community and to support the recovery from the covid-19 pandemic, building a more prosperous future for the sector. The International Coffee Organization (ICO) were excited to announce ‘Coffee’s Next Generation’ as the focus for the International Coffee Day 2020.
International Coffee Day say “‘Coffee’s Next Generation’ is intended to engage ICO Members and all coffee stakeholders to work together with youth organizations, industry leaders and associations, international organizations, development and financial partners and coffee consumers, to invest in the youth and bring to life their innovative ideas and enthusiasm to benefit the whole coffee community and to recover from the pandemic building a more prosperous future.”
SOCIAL MEDIA CHALLENGE – On 1 October 2023, build a global movement and post a selfie on social media as you enjoy a cup of coffee.
