Faith, Food & Community: Nourishment Across Cultures

Wednesday 12 November 16.30 – 0.00

Cambridge

Launching on YouTube during IFW
Food is more than fuel — it’s comfort, culture, and connection. From cherished family recipes to the rituals of festive meals, what we eat often tells a story of who we are and where we come from. In this special Inter Faith Week webinar, three Cambridge researchers discuss how groups across the UK and elsewhere are responding to food insecurity by sharing meals and meeting diverse dietary needs in their communities.

Accessible to primary and secondary school teachers, this session will delve into:
- How religious traditions shape dietary practices and food ethics
- The role of food in building interfaith understanding and community resilience
- Real-life examples of faith-based food-sharing initiatives

Whether you're teaching RE, PSHE, or exploring themes of belonging and diversity, this webinar offers rich insights and practical ideas to bring into the classroom. Join us to discover how food can be a powerful tool for service, solidarity, and storytelling.
