Bard College Berlin and Pankow Gegen Rassismus Presents

Taste of Home: Public Reading and Discussion about Cooking and Belonging

Join BCB's Office of Civic Engagement to get a taste of home from the Neukölln-based association Give Something Back to Berlin at the Bard College Berlin campus. This event is part of the 2024 Pankow Weeks Against Racism program. View the rest of BCB's Pankow Weeks Against Racism events here.

The event centers the role that food plays in creating a sense of home and belonging. We will talk about how sharing food builds communities and how food can be a part of building more inclusive societies. We will also introduce both the Open Kitchen, a shared cooking project run by the association Give Something Back to Berlin, as well as The Feast, a cookbook featuring stories and recipes of Berlin’s migrant communities and showcasing ways to become involved in the Open Kitchen. View a selection from The Feast here.

Everyone is invited to bring a cup, and a taste of their own favorite food.

Give Something Back to Berlin (GSBTB) empowers newly arrived and long-established Berliners through volunteering, education and a social network. Together with their community of migrants, refugees and locals, GSBTB promotes social cohesion, solidarity, and belonging by encouraging people from different backgrounds to co-create and learn together. Their work goes beyond the currently prevalent models of "integration" and enables people to develop their potential and get connected. It is about changing Berlin's cultural and social life together.
