Public Diners: Learning From Milk Bars In Poland
Join Nourish Scotland for a free lunch and chat about an international example of public diners - Poland's bary mleczne - and how this model might work in Scotland!
About Public Diners: Learning From Milk Bars In Poland
Community Lunch + Learn Event: In collaboration with Nourish Scotland and UCL, a group of local ‘citizen social scientists’ have been carrying out some research about the history, purpose, and culture of public diners, focusing on the Polish Milk Bar (bar mleczny) by engaging with the Polish community in and around Glasgow. They were interested in learning what works about public diners in other cultures, and how they might be adapted here. We will then have time for you to give your input and ideas on the future of public diners locally.
12.30-1:00 – Welcome and Introduction
1:00-2:00 – Community Lunch (complimentary)
2:00-2:45 – Presentations from local citizen scientists
2:45-3:30 – Open Discussion
What are public diners?
We have public hospitals, public libraries, even public WiFi. Why not public diners?
Public diners are state supported, affordable restaurants serving good meals to the general public. They used to operate in the UK under the banner of British/Civic Restaurants and they operate in numerous countries across the world today.
Public diners is a current policy proposal that will help deliver what the private food environment is struggling to: healthy, sustainable meals in a convenient way and at an affordable price. They will sit alongside our public libraries, public hospitals, public parks and protect our right to food as well help deliver big public health and climate improvements.
Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
