Food & Drink

Responsible consumption for a better world.

We are very happy to be able to collaborate again this year with the kitchen coaches from previous years. Voluntary, vegetarian, organic, without wasting a lot of food nor using disposable cups, plates, or cutlery. Every year, they manage to fill all our acro-stomachs for three days with breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Plus coffee, tea, and lemonade all day long.

There has been a bit of grumbling about the kitchen at the convention for years. And sure enough, the food sometimes takes a while to arrive, sometimes items run out faster than expected, or sometimes you stand in line longer than you wanted. It's healthiest to focus on the silver lining, however! The food line is one of the best places to have a good chat with one another or strike up an unexpected conversation with a stranger. And who knows what surprises might come along.

Why we work with the trusted team of kitchen coaches: First of all, it is a very special team. The team is best known for their mobile action kitchen. By doing so, they have been supporting activists, action camps, and other charitable activities for decades. Secondly, it ensures that the convention remains affordable. The team works with volunteers, who do so in order to support charitable actions in turn. And it works with us when we are there chopping vegetables or running a coffee shift.

Is it not going fast enough for you and are you not on duty? Then you can always see how you can help, because many hands make light work.

Do you want to know more about what the kitchen coach team does the rest of the year? Ask them while chopping vegetables, cleaning up, or serving; they are always open to a chat.

Do you have an allergy or follow a special diet? Please inform the kitchen coach team upon arrival!

Still hungry? Haven't had enough after the first round? Feel free to get a second helping, but use the same plate. Do let the people who haven’t made it to the first round go first.
