Community Cooking

Sharing Kai and Korero

Share Kai is an opportunity sit down and chat with different people from different cultures, people you may not normally have the opportunity to meet in your own community. As part of Unity Week, Riverside Market became the latest venue for a share kai and korero event, described as a 'diversity mix and mingle'. A chance to relax in the company of strangers with hospitality and food becoming the conduit for connection. We are a diverse society, but unless we find reasons to come together, we're missing out on a culinary and culture smorgasbord. Mahia te Aroha and

In common have combined to encourage people to see their differences as something celebrate rather than fear. Both organisations hold regular community meals and also offer cooking lessons provided by our migrant community.

Whether freeview or payview, what are we actually seeing and why? what are we actually paying for and why? Are we simply paying millions to subsidise commercially fragile kiwi media platforms or are we paying to ensure a future for kiwi made factual content? These questions are particularly relevant as the government considers new funding models for both film and television.
