Intro
Living abroad means piecing together your own community. Being immersed in a variety of cultures has been a source of inspiration and discovery which I credit most of my creative thinking to. This is my way of giving that back.
Challenge
My love for communal cooking and dining comes from my family back in Estonia, where words don’t mean much but food does. To share that feeling with loved ones in the Netherlands, I started hosting catered events with an informative element that I could pass on from my heritage.
Solution
By partnering with creative studios in Amsterdam, I started hosting gatherings where food was the source of connection—to each other and to new cultures. The first interactive dinner was in celebration of Midsummer, with history and traditions weaved in through wreath braiding, bonfire ceremonies, and practicing urban legends from northern and eastern Europe.
Following the success of the first event, I’ve now started organizing public or private communal events on a bi-monthly basis. All upcoming public events will be shared on the in___common Instagram account.
