Ticket Price:
As always it's a pay-as-you-feel kind of event because we like to keep it low threshold and open to anyone. Having a low budget shouldn't be an excuse not to come, on the other hand, if you have more, please share :)
To cover our direct costs for this event we need an average donation of 15 euros per visitor. This money will go to paying the travel-tickets and accomodation for the photographers coming from aboad, it will pay for some additional groceryshopping, the rent of the space, the printing of the photography and loads of other small and big investments we had to do to make this event possible.
The workshops explained:
Voedselhelden
Since September 2016 TBYW has been proudly giving workshops at primary schools. This workshop is designed to teach the little ones how they can be food heroes and make a difference. In a fun and playful manner they learn everything about the problem of food waste, it's consequences but more importantly how to do something about it!
The workshop is in Dutch and meant for kids ages 9 - 13.
Puppet show
We are happy to host our first puppet show! Our dear friend Gus loves to make stories with his puppet friends and this time he will be presenting a puppet show on food waste! Sign up and bring your kids for this fun and inspiring show!
The show is in Dutch and for kids up to 10 years old.

This workshop is given by our friends from The Green Living Lab! Rowin, their worm compost expert will be explaining you how to start and maintain your own worm hotel!

The workshop is in English and meant for adults, though accompanied children can also participate.
Waste doctors
Have you ever found yourself standing, with an “old” or “ugly” vegetable and wondering “what can I do with this?”. Have you ever thrown away food because the vegetables were too old to be used? Well this workshop is for you! This workshop will be given by our trained waste doctors and will give you tips on how to use some vegetables and/or fruits when they are not as healthy as they used to be before! Our Doctors will be giving these consults at our Waste doctor’s office between 16.00-18.00! We will have sessions of 20 minutes every half hour and there’s room for 5 people per slot! Sign up and do not miss this opportunity!
The workshop is in English and for all ages.
Organiser Stichting Taste Before You Waste
Organiser of A Moment Before - Photo Exhibition
Serving consciousness on a platter is how we plan to revolutionize the food system, one neighbourhood at a time!
Taste Before You Waste is an initiative focused on the prevention of food waste that was founded in Amsterdam in November 2012. By picking up surplus food and using these goodies as inspiration and fuel for all our activities, ranging from Food Cycle Markets, Community Dinners and Educational Workshops to Event Caterings, Presentations and Donations to Charities we aim to raise awareness about the enormous amount of food that is thrown away and educate people about what they can do to prevent this from happening.
