OUR INTERCULTURAL COOKING BATTLES

OUR FRESH TAKE ON STORYTELLING: WORLD STORIES & NEWS

Present-day and past stories defining societies as they are and as we and as we properly get to know them
We invite young people from the local foreign diaspora as guest speakers to identify, present and discuss the most pressing current issues in their home countries and add on-the-spot culture-specific clarification and relevant traditional stories where needed. In the new age of advanced and diverse new media, new rules of communication and information shaping and sharing, citizen’s opinions and attitudes dominate the global information flow challenging the more detatched approach of the media-of-facts in favour of a more homely and relatable exchange of personal accounts of community stories. In this tilted information orbit, we are relying on our local foreign diaspora youth for a more genuine, ‘insider’ understanding of what is imporant in their culture and community right now.

Join us for a fresh take on the important living stories around the world.
Join us for some world history-in-the-making!
(Since March 2018)
