A team of partners from FAO, Kitchen Connection, and the UN Department of Global Communications which is planning a series of youth-focused activities extends their invite to two upcoming events:

Table Talks: Youth Community Calls

WHEN: Tuesday 25 May at 10am EDT / 14 GMT / 10PM CST.

Table Talks are a space for youth to come to the “table” and talk - without notes or preparation - about the things that matter to them in food systems. The event take places every other month with youth around the world, who can collaborate and share updates on their work, learn from each other, and most importantly, work towards food systems transformation.

Our goal is to have one topic that we vote on collectively to work on, for example: “How do we get more youth at this table?” OR“What resources, tools, time zone, or other challenges are impeding us from coming together?”

Each session welcomes people bring their traditional coffee, tea, or food to the table as well.

Influencing Change: Highlighting Young Voices in Food and Sustainability

WHEN: 3 June at 9:30 am EDT / 13:30 GMT / 9:30 PM CST

This Briefing is set to be streamed on UN Web TV. At the start of the event, organizers will host an informal panel discussion with food and sustainability TikTok and Instagram influencers Max Lamanna (@maxlamanna), Taylor Bright (@sustainablecherub), Isias Hernandez (@queerbrownvegan) and Sofia Castilblanco (@juniorchefsofia) with a participatory and interactive element.
