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.
