One of the hypotheses of the Food2gather project, was that food could work as a common language (who ever we are, where ever we come from) and that this pilot with surplus table gave a wonderful illustration of food as common language.

Dans cet épisode – nous nous trouvons à Bordeaux. Nous nous intéressons dans la question : comment s’aliment-t-on au quotidien quand on vit en squat ? Pour répondre à cette question, il faut aussi comprendre que la majorité des gens qui vivent en squat sont des personnes en situation de migration, qui ont parcouru des milliers de kilomètres à la recherche d’un avenir meilleur, et qui se retrouve positionné a la marge de la société, bloqué dans l’attente administrative, parfois catalogué comme ‘sans-papiers’ toujours étiqueté comme ‘migrants’, devant faire face à une situation de précarité, résidentielle notamment. 

Dans ce podcast, nous nous penchons sur le projet Food2Gather, un projet européen qui vise à répondre à une question importante : Quel rôle joue l’alimentation dans la création d'espaces publics et d'opportunités pour les gens à se rencontrer et à vivre ensemble ? Six pays ont mené des études distinctes, mais liées, pour explorer les espaces alimentaires dans un contexte de migration.

Il podcast che presentiamo delinea la ricerca del gruppo italiano che guarda alla migrazione forzata attraverso le lenti del cibo. I primi due clip riguardano le pratiche del cibo in due scenari di emergenza: a Roma -dove sostano i migranti in transito diretti a nord o coloro che sono in attesa dei loro documenti- e a Ventimiglia dove i migranti tentano di valicare il confine francese e continuare così il loro viaggio. A seguire, abbiamo due clip relativi a due progetti di ristorazione nelle città di Venezia e di Padova i cui proprietari intendono coinvolgere i clienti in un viaggio del gusto lungo le rotte percorse come rifugiati afgani. Infine, l’ultimo podcast presenta un workshop digitale in cui le richiedenti asilo condividono le loro ricette con un’audience tenuta forzatamente a casa dalla pandemia. Tutti e cinque gli scenari presentati pongono l’accento sul cibo nella sua dimensione di nutrimento simbolico, relazionale e culturale.

(Episode in German) 
In der heutigen Folge schauen wir uns eine Fallstudie in Frankfurt, Deutschland, an. Lokale Akteure arbeiteten mit Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund zusammen, um ein Kochbuch mit Rezepten aus ihren Heimatländern zu erstellen. Zuerst hören wir von Clara Speer, die diesen Prozess organisiert hat. Und dann werden wir Ihre Geschmacksnerven mit zwei Rezepten (und den Geschichten dahinter) aus dem Kochbuch verführen.  

In diesem Podcast tauchen wir in das Food2Gather-Projekt ein - ein europäisches Projekt, das eine wichtige Frage beantworten soll: Welche Rolle spielen Lebensmittel bei der Schaffung von öffentlichen Räumen und Gelegenheiten für die Begegnung und das Zusammenleben von Menschen? Sechs Universitäten aus sechs verschiedenen Ländern führten getrennte, aber verwandte Forschungen und Projekte durch, um Nahrungsräume im Kontext der Migration zu untersuchen.

Dans cet épisode, nous allons nous intéresser à ce que signifie « former des enfants à l’approche anthropologique » et essayer de comprendre pourquoi c’est relevant dans leur trajet scolaire.
