  1. On a weekly or biweekly basis organize a melting pot dinner. Invite 5-8 members of your organization/company and 5-8 beneficiaries (refugees, foreigners, or other newcomers of the community)
  2. Pick a menu and get cooking! Everyone can prepare their dishes separately before-hand and bring them, or you can prepare the meal together. We suggest putting together a menu that encompasses different dishes that your guests will be able to teach you how to make, while also being able to share the cultural significance behind the food
  3. Organize other activities that promote interaction among everyone- such as place-mat ice breakers or having at least two of your guests to share a story (one from a beneficiary and one from a colleague)
  4. Lastly, have a debrief where everyone can talk about the evening, what their expectations were, what they learned, and how the experience has impacted them
