Seven case studies in different African countries were identified as representative of the Slow Food approach, and they have been twinned with the partner cities.
The first of two 4Cities4Dev workshops was held in Turin with the project's partners on November 3 and 4. The focus was the relationship between food and the city, looking at everything from school cafeterias to soup kitchens to urban food gardens. The workshop was opened by the mayor of Turin, Piero Fassino, and Slow Food's president, Carlo Petrini.
