Purpose
To create a playful, inclusive evening where food connects people across cultures. Using a beloved Danish classic (fastelavnsboller) as a base, participants explore new flavors, techniques, and cultural stories — turning something familiar into something surprising and shared.
Inside the project
In practice.
Project Description
Funky Food Festival is a communal culinary experience where we cook together, eat together, and share the stories behind the food. Fastelavnsboller are reinvented with creative and international twists, blending traditions from different cultures into one shared table. The evening includes short introductions to the traditional Danish base and the added cultural flavors, followed by a shared dinner with mixed seating designed to spark new connections.
Activities
Communal cooking, cultural storytelling, shared dinner with mixed seating, and intercultural dialogue.
Is this relevant to you?
Primarily for young people aged 18–30 in Copenhagen, both Danish and international, especially students, newcomers and others who want to meet new people through food and cultural exchange. Events are open to everyone.
