How to Run a Community Dinner

Have you ever been to a community dinner or "Voku", and heard the people say "Do you also want to do a Voku?" But how do you actually do that? Where do you start? 

Vokus are volunteer run dinners where they usually raise money for some cause, group or person in need. In many places this looks like a 3 course meal for around 50 people.

This Sunday at Radical Sunday School we are hosting a knowledge sharing session where experienced cooks from different social centers and to-be new cooks can gather and learn from each other.

We will talk about: where to get started, joining to help out, portion control and quantity estimates, skip, food safety, allergies, kitchen safety and cleaning. And much more!!

The formal education system affects us all. Not only are we forced to attend schools growing up, but academic research shapes our governments, our news, and how we view the world around us. As much as many of us want to believe in the promise of institutional education, the sad fact is that our schools and universities are undemocratic and elitist. They perpetuate inequalities instead of giving people the tools to fight them. This world is fucked.

Here at Radical Sunday School, though, we know that another world is possible. Everyone should be able to direct their own learning, to grow together with their communities, and to live as though they’re already free. There are countless examples of movements already putting these ideas into practice. This collective is trying to follow in their footsteps, organizing to explore new ways of learning based on principles of autonomy, mutual aid, and egalitarianism.

This is not intended to be a course that you would have to follow all the way through. Jump in and out whenever you like. Sessions will be held every Sunday at Joe's Garage.

Doors open at 17.30, we start sharp at 18.00!
