About the volunteering opportunity

Cooking together promotes intercultural exchange and breaks down prejudices. Germany enjoys culinary diversity, and at “schmeck nei,” people from all regions of the world show just how much culture, drive, knowledge, and dedication—in other words, resources—they bring to the table.
Cooking together fosters mutual appreciation— a strong foundation for genuine integration into our society. Language is secondary—when you’re DOING things together, you understand each other even without words. 

Your Tasks

The project takes  place in your town in the Ludwigsburg district! You invite neighbors from your town, and together you'll cook your favorite dish one evening.
 
We’ll organize the following for you:
  1. a communal kitchen and a space for a lovely dinner (e.g., at a church or provided by the city), 
  2. We’ll help you with planning and promotion. We have placemats from SCHMECK NEI that you can use to decorate. 
  3. There’s no cost to you. 
  4. Participation in the cooking evening is also free for all guests. Anyone who wishes to may make a donation.
