Food as the common language around a surplus table

In this episode of the Food2Gather podcast, we hear from a local social organization that is working to help young people and reduce food waste. Head into the class with them as they teach research methods, cook food and enjoy each other's company. 

One of the hypotheses of the Food2gather project, was that food could work as a common language (who ever we are, where ever we come from) and  that this pilot with surplus table gave a wonderful illustration of food as common language. 

The Food2Gather podcast dives into examples from each of the six universities participating in the Food2Gather project – a European project which aimed to answer the question: what role does food play in creating public spaces and opportunities for people to meet and live together?

This project has received funding from HERA JPR Public Spaces: Culture and Integration in Europe funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement number 769478
