Food For Thought enables refugee and migrant chefs in Denmark to share their knowledge and stories with other like-minded community members, including both locals and internationals. This is done by making food that is representative of their culture, eating together, listening to a story and telling each other stories in an informal setting. Food For Thought provides an exciting space for people from different backgrounds to share their life stories – we want to enable people to learn from and be inspired by each other’s experiences through storytelling in a safe, stimulating and inclusive social environment. The idea stems from the belief that each one of us has a unique life story that’s worth sharing, and from which we can learn a lot. The idea is motivated by the saying "I tell my story, therefore, I am."

Food for Thought gives you the opportunity to hear thought-provoking talks from fascinating speakers, while at the same time eating tasty food cooked by chefs from a variety of backgrounds. Our evening event in the heart of Copenhagen features fantastic thinkers, such as the author and activist Sara Omar and Danish photographer Jacob Holdt, creator of the photo series "American Pictures". More than anything else, it gives you the opportunity to see what we do at Crossing Borders and how we provide dialogue space to enable citizens to participate in the development process of their societies. By participating in this event, you too will have the chance to engage in such empowering dialogue and contribute to changing society for the better!
