Sharing our Food Stories
This year's theme is 'Sharing our Food Stories', which we hope will highlight the way food can nurture a sense of identity while helping build stronger connections through the power of storytelling.
A food story can belong to anyone, and it can be shared in many ways. It could belong to a person, a community, a family, an organisation, a group of friends or a whole country, and it can be shared through words, food, pictures, music, art, dance, or any other way. By sharing and listening to each other’s stories, we can remind ourselves that food is part of what makes us human and how it’s a language that we can all speak.
