You don’t bring food to salt, you bring the salt to the food.
Throughout the process of planning the week of SALT events, we reached out to the community that we aim to connect with: displaced people from Ukraine and the people who have been involved with them locally in Romania. The feedback that we received was overwhelmingly positive regarding our intended messages of re/building bridges and hospitality, so we tailored our plan to “Bring the SALT” to them, to adapt to their schedules and meet them on a personal level.
We will be traveling as a team to various refugee and community centers around the region, to sit down with displaced Ukrainians and the people who are actively helping them—both Romanian and Ukrainian alike—to learn their stories, deliver our messages of community building and hope and to help them in any other ways we can.
