Peace Feast - Bridges for Communities

Bridges for Communities connects people of different cultures and faiths, enabling them to build friendships and grow in their understanding of one another.

It’s a charity working to connect people from different cultures and faiths, to challenge stereotypes and prejudice and to promote friendship and understanding.

Through these connections and experiences, they seek to inspire and equip people to become active agents of change, building a more cohesive society where people are better neighbours, newcomers feel more welcome and cities are more inclusive.

Dan Green,Peace Feast UK Coordinator said "We want to contribute towards a society that is more peaceful, more cohesive, where people are better neighbours to one another and where people who are new to that society are made to feel more welcome.”

What is a Peace Feast?

A Peace Feast brings people together, from different cultures and faiths, for food and friendship
​
There are three key ingredients

Food - Everybody loves eating. A feast is a celebration and a window into another culture.
It's the timeless art of bringing people together to share a meal and demonstrate hospitality.

Stories - Stories are at the heart of a Peace Feast. Through speeches, music and conversations around the table, people start to see the world through someone else's eyes.

Friendship - Peace Feasts create the opportunity for friendships to flourish between people of different cultures. The food and stories simply get the ball rolling and the conversations flowing.

"The first time I came to a peace feast I didn’t know anyone… I started talking and I met new people, I learned a lot from them and the next time I started volunteering. I felt I’m home, even though it’s not my country, I feel really good.” said Bushra Alshihabi, Peace Feast volunteer.
