Coffee Tasting: The Bean that Links Continents

Coffee Tasting: The Bean that Links Continents

Join us for a journey through the fascinating world of coffee, from its ancient origins in Ethiopia to its arrival in Europe and its role in today’s global trade. We’ll explore how coffee is grown, the challenges farmers face, and how changing prices impact entire communities. And of course, some coffee tasting! Come discover the aromas, flavors, and stories behind your cup.

• History of coffee (origins of coffee, import to Europe...)
• Coffee today, key challenges, ways of production
• Trade of coffee today, price of coffee impacts, dependence of certain countries on the commodity
  

This event will be hosted by two of our shapers:

Federica Claffey:
Agroforestry and sustainable food production are at the core of what she does. Her interest in food led her to explore its origins, ultimately driving her into agroforestry, a field that conserves and restores ecosystems while enhancing their social and ecological benefits. Passionate about making a difference, she is eager to connect with like-minded professionals and exchange ideas.

Nolwen Prince:
Master's student in economics at the Paris School of Economics with a background in macroeconomics and trade.

Please note that participants are expected to cover the costs for their coffee cup/drink (between 2-6 euros, depending on what you choose to drink).

This event is open to all! It is free to attend, with an optional donation starting from €1 to support Global Shapers Paris projects promoting social inclusion for young people. Reserve your spot today and be part of the conversation on coffee, global trade and sustainability.
