Round Table Cooking: The Neighbourhood Meeting was the title for a public event in Oslo, Tøyen, in the small park at the end of Håkan’s gate. The event was organised as a neighbourhood meeting on a Sunday afternoon. The event was based on cooking a soup together, where each guest contributes one ingredient, typical or special for our “neighborhood soup”. While cutting, preparing and cooking we will also open up some questions related to our neighborhood’s present situation and its possible future; for e.g, who are our neighbours? How much do we know each other? Can we as neighbours support and respect each other regardless of differences, working together towards creating a strong community, helping each other and enjoy the benefits of cultural diversity?
