What is the funding devoted to?
Turning Tables is launching a second edition of its gastronomy workshop in 2017 and needs donations to cover the costs. After our successful pilot workshop in October 2016, which prepared 12 participants for a vocational training in the gastronomy sector, we are fine-tuning the concept and would like to give the opportunity to more refugees to participate and get integrated into the German labour market. Click here for more information on the pilot http://www.thrive-international.org/en/recap-of-the-gastronomy-workshop/.
The implementation of a workshop requires renting training kitchens, buying food stuff for cooking, providing training material and covering our training staff.

With your contribution it is possible to realize several gastronomy workshops and mentoring in order to provide a holistic approach of guidance, as well as long-term support along the integration journey and fostering intercultural exchange.
