Multicultural community
About the project
Kullens Building Association wants to create new meetings between people from different cultures and generations through cooking and community. By upgrading the kitchen in the community center in Nås, conditions are created for six joint cooking evenings with food, traditions, and stories from different parts of the world.
The project aims to contribute to increased understanding, reduced exclusion, and a stronger cohesion in the community. At the same time, the community center gains better opportunities to develop as a vibrant and inclusive meeting place for the future.
Purpose The goal of the project is to strengthen community and increase understanding between people from different cultures and generations. Through cooking and shared experiences, the aim is to reduce exclusion and create a lively, inclusive meeting place for the entire community.
The activities in the project
The project includes an upgrade of the community center's kitchen as well as six joint cooking evenings with different cultural themes. Participants will cook together, share traditions and stories, and learn more about each other's cultures. The theme evenings include, among other things, Swedish Midsummer, Kurdish culinary tradition, and flavors from Rwanda and the Balkans.
”We want to fill that gap by instead gathering around something new that everyone has in common, namely food.”
