The ‘Collaborative Kitchen’ project, funded by the European Union in the framework of the ‘New European Bauhaus’ is a project conceived and implemented by the Design Policy Lab (Department of Design, Politecnico di Milano) in partnership with Caritas Reggio Emilia and EIT Food, to increase the circularity of the food donation system through a process of community co-design.
For ten weeks, the Collaborative Kitchen will involve the people of the Caritas food donation system: diners, volunteers and donors, but also policymakers and other value bearers, through a series of conversations and workshops held at Caritas Reggio Emilia and Laboratorio Aperto dei Chiostri di San Pietro. The aim is to imagine the future of food giving and distribution to reduce waste, but also to support people and communities.
