Project Description
Moitié-Moitié is a series of gastronomic events that bring people from different cultures together to share, exchange and connect through food. All activities are always held in small groups (up to 12: six immigrants + six Montrealers) to preserve a cozy atmosphere and open a space suitable to create new relationships. Moitié-Moitié aims to enhance the meaning of mutuality within a multicultural society, to break down cultural barriers, to give an opportunity to Montrealers to promote their culture, to facilitate immigrants’ integration to a new culture and encourage them to speak French.
