The Concept
The Food for Thought concept originates from the belief that each of us possesses a unique life story worth sharing, one that can impart lessons and inspiration. This idea also aligns with the sentiment: ‘I tell my story, therefore I am.’ The phrase ‘Food for Thought’ has been in use since the 1800s, referring to something deserving of profound contemplation.
At Crossing Borders, we firmly believe that every individual holds a distinctive story that merits a listening ear. This conviction led us to develop Food for Thought as a secure space where individuals can share their life stories, particularly those intertwined with contemporary issues. Participants have the opportunity to network and relish a delectable vegetarian dinner, skillfully crafted by the international chefs of the ‘Send Flere Krydderier’ social entrepreneurship restaurant.
In today’s world, Food for Thought stands as one of Crossing Borders’ flagship initiatives, increasingly indispensable. It serves as a platform for individuals from diverse backgrounds to converge and bond over two universally appealing aspects: stories and food.
We would also like to extend Food for Thought as a service to companies, fostering dialogue and team cohesion among colleagues concerning pressing topics such as Social Responsibility, Climate Change, Green Transition, Diversity, Inclusion, Global Health, Well-being, and Environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG)
