On Saturday and Sunday, various immigrant communities from the provinces of Cuneo and Turin will be coming to Pollenzo to cook their typical foods at lunch and dinner. All proceeds will go entirely to the communities to fund their own projects. The Academic Tables, the university’s canteen, supported by a number of osterias and restaurants belonging to the Slow Food Chefs’ Alliance, will also be selling food, the proceeds of which will help cover the costs of meals for refugees invited to the Festival. It will also be possible to make a direct donation to the refugees’ meals using special tokens, following the “suspended coffee” model that started in Naples.

On Monday there will be an Eat-In, in which anyone can participate by bringing along a dish or foods to share and filling in a form in advance. The Eat-In is entirely organized by UNISG students.
