The Picnic.
Eat together. Talk together. Come together.
After the cleanup walk, we're not just calling it a day - we want to sit down together, eat, drink and ease into a relaxed afternoon.
It's set up as an open bring-your-own picnic: if you like, bring something small and help make the shared table even more vibrant.
We'll try to provide a basic spread through donations and contributions - but it's at its best when everyone adds a little something.
Why Baklava, you might ask?
Baklava stands for exactly what this picnic is all about.
It doesn’t belong to just one cuisine or one country. You’ll find it across many regions – from Turkey and Greece to the Balkans and the Levant.
That’s precisely why Baklava fits our picnic so well:
it’s not about where something comes from. It’s about people coming together.
Food brings people together..
Food is love.
Fear has no seat at our table.
What do we need?
Our picnic thrives on diversity.
Wether it's börek, maultaschen, frikandel, focaccia, bigos, salads, cakes, baklava or simply a few sandwiches - everything is welcome.It doesn't have to be superspecial, expensive or perfect. Often, the simplest and most authentic things are the best.
What matters isn't how elaborate something is, but how much story, love an honesty it carries.
Important:
This isn't about bringing industrial-scale quantities. It's enough if everyone makes just a little more than usual and brings it along.
Of course, we can transport food from the starting points to Kauffmannsgarten and store it until the picnic begins
How to join the team?
There are various ways to be part of the party:
Get into the kitchen and bring something for all of us.
You don't necessarily need to take part in the wastwalk - it's enough to be motivated and engaged.
Noone has to bring anything to be welcome at our event.
But if you are willing and able to bring some you will be a great help in achieving the goal to create a great shared meal from many small things.
Important:
If you make a bit more and the cost adds up, you’re welcome to bring us your receipt – just make sure it only includes the items you actually used. We can reimburse part of the costs.!
