THIS IS WHERE IT ALL BEGAN, AND THIS IS WHERE WE COME TOGETHER TO CELEBRATE (WITH) EACH OTHER.

Our community dinners are the key and heart of  Turning Tables, and, initially where it all started: gathered, sharing a meal and stories, around the table.

The monthly community dinners are truly the festivity of the month and a moment where we all come together. A moment, a place and space where everybody and everyone is invited too. A moment where the sense of belonging, community, and humanity is created and is being celebrated. Residents and non-residents from the asylum centers are invited to the table and share (more than) a meal together.

Together with both residents from asylum centers as well as non-residents from the asylum center, we prepare and make the most delicious traditional recipes from homelands all over the world, we share culinary traditions, stories, an evening, and a life-long lasting memory. The dinners are an invitation to challenge your thoughts, and judgments, break barriers, foster dialogue, and create a sense of belonging.  

Gathered around the table food is eaten, and enjoyed, stories are shared, friendships are built and a community is formed.
