FIRST STEPS AT
DIE GEMEINSCHAFT

Hello!

Hello and welcome as a member of Die Gemeinschaft! 

Our mission is to unite culinary actors along the value chain, and collaborate to establish a new food culture. A food culture that celebrates real food, localities and handcrafts. We recognize the connection between food systems, climate and social responsibility and – and put the wellbeing of nature, animals and humans first. By sharing knowledge and supporting each other, we can learn from other disciplines and magnify new approaches as a foundation for the transformed food system we want to create. Based on a strong community, we want to inspire others with tangible alternatives, with honesty, appreciation and humility.

So let’s get connected – below you’ll find helpful links and tips on how to stay in touch with other Gemeinschaft members and the broader community.

Dates and Event Updates

To stay up to date with all events and general news, you and your team can subscribe to our newsletter. Are you planning an event, have jobs to offer or topics on your mind? Share it! We will add your query in our upcoming newsletter and/or Instagram story.

Our Board

The fact that we as Die Gemeinschaft are an association has its reasons. Because our actions are not determined by a single person but, in addition to our annual general meeting, our board meets regularly. There, events, membership applications and future projects are discussed and decided upon collectively. In the following you can get to know our board better.
