The experience

Our philosophy is based on the idea that food can connect cultures and creates encounters between people. That is why from the beginning in 2016 the project aims at being the bridge between Syrian refugees and permanent residents. Since 2019 we stopped calling those people refugees- it became more a project of different cultures. We all live in our wonderful city.
Nowadays we focus on interculture encounters (without borders) and with hearts.

Program Details

We are looking for creative people from all over the world, so we can think together about some marketing ideas, cook or create campaigns.
Any creative skills? You are an extroverted photographer, a yoga teacher, a web designer, like to cook (which would be with our team) ...
We also need always people with good social skills! People who will help our culture team to create new ideas by bringing humas together ...

But before creating/having an impact, we want to invite you to our culinary team, the culture(s) and to the different places we run (which takes about 3 weeks). We are a team of 70 people and it takes some time to feel our energy.
Later we talk more about your skills - Origami, music, language, cooking, concerts, yoga etc ....
After your first 3 weeks, we ask you to implement (if you wish) your skills and tools.

--> That is why we request you to stay at least 5 weeks with us.


Activities & Shift

The tasks are either to prepare or leave ingredients ready, prepare some dishes and clean up or to deliver food with e-bikes.
Afterwards we ask you to come up with the ideas to organize more social activities.


Rules

We will be living in a shared flat with max 5 more people. This shared flat has rules, which you will be introduced to.
