L'Atelier des Non Chefs – Non Chef Edition LabCuina – Special Collection: "In the Kitchen With…" Obrador \| Saturday\, 11:00–14:00 Plant\-based \| Organic \| Local \| Seasonal \| Zero Waste **MENU OF THE DAY: A Cozy Japanese Autumn Curry** **THE SPIRIT** L'Atelier des Non Chefs is a collective, joyful and inclusive cooking experience for people who love food without needing to be professional chefs. It celebrates: \- Learning by doing \- Sharing knowledge and cultures \- Simplicity and creativity \- Community over performance **WHY THIS BRUNCH?** This unserious brunch has two main goals: Plant-based integration Making vegan food a natural part of daily life through recipes that are sustainable, whole-food based, nutritious and, above all, quick and easy to prepare. Community and solidarity Even more important is building community. This is a space for activists and people fighting injustice to connect with like-minded people, share meaningful time and take a break from the resistance they face in their work. A safe, inclusive environment rooted in empathy and love. **HOW IT WORKS** 1\. A short welcome 2\. We split into teams\, each with its own tasks 3\. We cook a simple\, healthy once\-course meal together 4\. We sit down and eat together 5\. We split into teams again for a quick\, efficient cleanup No experience needed. True to the "unserious cooking" spirit, it's low pressure and all about learning together. We keep the kitchen clean as we go so everything flows smoothly. **SCHEDULE** Saturday, 11:00 – 14:00 (3 hours) **CONTRIBUTION** – "Participación Consciente" We work with a conscious contribution model: \- Ingredient cost for this menu: approx\. 5–6 € \- Everyone contributes according to their means above the cost of the ingredients \- Contributions sustain the kitchen\, materials and collective activities This keeps the atelier accessible, fair and community-supported. **WHAT IS LABCUINA?** LabCuina is a social kitchen project, running since **2013**, that combines: \- Plant\-based and zero\-waste food experimentation \- Community learning \- Cultural exchange A space where cooking becomes a tool for social connection, education, ecological awareness and collective creativity. **WHAT IS A SOCIAL CANTEEN?** A social canteen is more than a place to eat. It uses food to: \- Build community \- Create inclusion \- Share resources \- Support accessibility Meals are affordable, participatory and values-driven, focused on care rather than profit. **WHY WE DO THIS** We believe cooking together can: \- Strengthen social bonds \- Empower people \- Encourage sustainable food choices \- Reconnect us with simple\, shared rituals In a fast-paced world, L'Atelier des Non Chefs creates a slow, human and meaningful moment around food. Come as you are. Cook together. Eat together. Learn together.

Follow the Money: Fossil Banks, COP31 & Citizen Action

Follow the Money: Fossil Banks, COP31 & Citizen Action

Wed, Nov 18, 6:30 PM
From Let's talk about climate change
4.8

**What happens when the money we put in the bank helps finance the very industries driving climate change?** We often talk about reducing our carbon footprints, changing our consumption habits, and pushing governments to take stronger climate action. But there is another important piece of the puzzle that deserves more attention: the role of banks, financial institutions and corporations in financing the fossil fuel industry and perpetuating the climate crisis. Following [our gathering last December](https://www.meetup.com/es-es/lets-talk-about-climate-change/events/312256713/?eventOrigin=group_calendar), where we came together to discuss COP30 and explore the realities of international climate negotiations, we're continuing the conversation. This month, we are honoured to have Adrien joining us again, and help us focus on the financial flows behind the climate crisis. We'll explore how banks continue to finance fossil fuels, how corporate interests influence climate policy, and what citizens can do to demand greater corporate accountability and drive change. **What will we discuss?** * COP31 and the influence of fossil fuel interests * Fossil banks: Following the money * Citizen action: Choosing a responsible bank * Corporate accountability beyond banking **About our speaker: Adrien Tofighi-Niaki** Adrien Tofighi-Niaki has 15 years of experience working at the intersection of climate change, environmental justice and human rights. His research focuses on extractive industries, corporate accountability, greenwashing, land rights and financial flows. He combines investigative research, data analysis and community-based approaches to support civil society advocacy and frontline communities. His work has been featured in The Guardian, BBC, Financial Times, NPR, Mongabay and Democracy Now!, among other international media outlets. Find out more: [https://www.aniaki.work/](https://www.aniaki.work/) **Why Join Us?** Climate action is not only about what governments decide at international conferences. It is also about where money flows, how corporations operate, and the choices and collective pressure we can bring to bear as citizens. Our everyday financial decisions may have more influence than we realise. Understanding the connections between our banks, corporate power and the climate crisis is an important step towards taking meaningful action. Whether you're already familiar with fossil fuel financing and corporate accountability or simply curious about what your bank has to do with climate change, you're very welcome! No specialist knowledge is required. **We kindly request a donation up to 5 euros to support the running of Let's Talk About Climate Change**, a voluntary initiative. See you there!

**HOLA HOLA.** This isn't your usual coffee club. Inspired by how great it is to grab a coffee with a cool friend weekly, you will: **INVITATION: Thursday 26 NOVEMBER, 10:00am - 11:30am @ Syra Coffee El Clot • Carrer del Clot, 49, Sant Martí, 08018 Barcelona** * Meet up with high-quality, high-vibe people, at a great Barcelona coffee spot \*THIS TIME AT Syra Coffee El Clot\* * Meet up outside of the coffee shop, order your coffee, GET HERE EARLY IN ORDER TO ENSURE YOU GET A COFFEE IT CAN BE QUITE SLOW WITH A BIG GROUP, DO NOT BE LATE, WE WILL LEAVE PROMPTLY AT 10:10 FOR OUR WALK AND WON'T WAIT FOR YOU OR CHECK YOUR MESSAGES XOXO * Have an awesome chat \*OUR CONVERSATION STARTER FOR THIS EVENT IS *"Over the past few weeks I hold a lot of gratitude for..."* For Coffee Club in 2026 we're moving past examining words and terms and deeper into the human experience. This time we're going to examine and celebrate all the reasons that we feel grateful as of late and why. * Experience that happy, buoyant feeling that comes from an engaging, pleasant chat * Continue on with the rest of your day Disclaimers: This meetup is free, but logically you must purchase your own coffee or beverage of your choice directly with the coffee shop mentioned. The primary language of this meetup will be English, the organizer Jenna also speaks Spanish for any questions or needs. Note that while this meetup is in English, this is not an English language learning group - this is a way for incredible strangers (both locals and expat locals, we're about 50/50) to get together, chat, and connect about real topics. Jenna will be actively hosting this space so don't be surprised if she sends you out for a walk with a new stranger, or changes it up a bit to encourage connection. Note that Jenna is intentionally keeping this group free. Be sure to join our **The Club** Whatsapp group after attending one of our Coffee Clubs to be connected with all of our people in Barcelona - in a no-spam, no-sales, genuinely just cool people meeting up - kind of way. If you'd like to support and/or team up with Jenna, buy her a coffee, check out her work at [holajenna.com,](http://holajenna.com,/) or find her at the next coffee club and say the code word: kaleidoscope. Meeting up in person **Thursday 26 NOVEMBER, 10:00am - 11:30am @ Syra Coffee El Clot • Carrer del Clot, 49, Sant Martí, 08018 Barcelona** Who is shaping the experience of this group? Jenna is a people person, and the founder of AMARIMA - a hot experience design consultancy crafting deeply resonant and immersive experiences that fuse multi-sensorial design, narrative-based hospitality, and behavioral design. She and her team work with some of the world's top hotel brands, experience-driven companies, and individuals to "turn up the dial on life." With her home in Barcelona and work happening in cities around the world, Jenna hosts Coffee Club Barcelona to bring together high-quality, high-vibe people, and foster real community in her favorite city.
