Uniting diverse communities through Syrian cuisine, music, and culture. Building bonds and fostering understanding
Description
We, a group of Syrian New Scots, are embarking on a remarkable journey to promote cultural understanding, foster unity, and build bridges within our local community. Our project, "Bridging Communities Through Syrian Cuisine," is a testament to our belief that food can transcend borders and create meaningful connections.
Our Vision
Our vision is simple yet profound: by sharing the rich heritage of our cuisine, music, and traditions, we aim to bring Scottish, Syrian, and other communities together through food. It's about celebrating the universal language of food as a catalyst for stronger, more inclusive communities.
Our Culinary Heritage
At the heart of our project lies the vibrant tapestry of Syrian cuisine. Iconic dishes like falafel and kebabs serve as gateways to the soul of Syrian culture. Through these flavors, we hope to introduce our Scottish neighbors to a world of tastes and traditions.
Our Inclusive Approach
Inclusivity is at the core of our project. Regardless of cultural backgrounds, we extend an open invitation to all members of the local community. It's about creating a space where diversity is celebrated, and friendships are forged.
Our Plan
Over the course of our project, we intend to host ten large brunch sessions at Whitehirst Community Centre. Each session promises to be a sensory delight, featuring expertly prepared Syrian cuisine, live music, and laughter. These gatherings aren't just about savoring delicious food; they are opportunities for genuine cultural exchange and interaction.
By sharing our culture and embracing others with open hearts, we aim to build a more connected, empathetic, and inclusive community. We kindly request support to turn this vision into reality and create a brighter future for all. Together, we believe we can build bridges, one meal at a time.
Costs:
Food ingredients per session £100 x 10 = £1000. (enough to feed 30+ people per session).
Location: Spike Wheat Scots - we are a refugee-led organisation. Our main aim is to support New Scots integrate into Scotland and ensure that integration is a 2-way process.
I was hoping that this money would go to something that would benefit the people, such as opening a project such as opening halal food sales or a sewing workshop for women, and there are more things than just eating food. ....
