"Have Faith in Food"
It's an event centred on diets of people of
different faiths from all over the world..
Each volunteer from a different faith will
be partnered with a student attendee and
they will plan a theoretical evening menu
together. This will encourage discussion
around the reasons for different diets ac-
cording to faith and nationality, and also
forge new relationships. The students will
also receive a packed lunch appropriate
for a faith (Sikh, Jewish, or Muslim) which
will hopefully also spark discussion. The
packed lunch will be made by the Cook-
ing society, which will also provide an op-
portunity for them to learn about different
cuisine.
