FAQs EssKulturWandel
Do you work with food and want to take responsibility and further your education? EssKulturWandel is designed for everyone who works in the food system and wants to change our food system. It doesn't matter whether you work in agriculture, in the kitchen, in a bakery or in another food trade, whether you are an apprentice, employee or freelancer: You can help shape the EssKulturWandel!
The majority of the costs for the programme are covered by the Famtastisch Foundation and the Heidehof Foundation, i.e. around €2,500 per person.
On average, we have to cover €250 per person. In order to ensure that all costs are covered, we rely on solidarity funding and ask for a donation of your choice after participation. So you decide for yourself what is possible and whether you can give less or more. Participation does not depend on the amount of your donation, as financial outlay should not be a barrier to taking part.
With our confirmation, you will receive a request to confirm your participation and to make a deposit of €70. This gives us planning security and any costs incurred remain sufficiently covered even in the event of spontaneous cancellations.
You are giving your team member the chance to take part in Germany's first interdisciplinary training programme for people in the food sector! EssKulturWandel offers a unique programme with extensive topics, taught by experts and in a small group of participants. Your team member will gain access to a network of pioneers in the scene and bring a wide range of knowledge and skills back into your day-to-day work and your team.
During the application phase, you can click on the application link and apply using the application form. Tell us who you are and why you want to take part. Approximately 1-2 weeks after the application deadline, you will receive feedback from us on how to proceed. The impulse days and the field trip will then take place over two weekends, four days each, over a period of two months. At the end of these two weekends, as an Alumni:ae you will be part of a large network and can organise a practical exchange in a company on your own.
EssKulturWandel would like to offer you an interdisciplinary, holistic program, so both parts are compulsory. So make sure that you can take part in both the impulse days and the field trip.
This round, the program will be held mainly in german. We are planning another round exclusively for english speakers. If you want to receive a reminder as soon as you can apply for the english round just send us an e-mail!
Ideally, your employer will see your participation as regular working time.
