"Cultural Bites" is an initiative of the Department of African Studies and the African-Caribbean Cultural Center at Sofia University, which aims to present "bites" of the cuisine, culture, and history of various African and Caribbean countries, both to students and to the wider Bulgarian community. audience. Through these exciting cultural and culinary journeys, we want to promote and celebrate cultural diversity and create cross-cultural connections and friendships.

The event is also part of the Multi Kulti Kitchen initiative which has been fostering two-way integration and diversity by presenting foreign cultures and cuisines since 2011. It has been recognized as best practice at the national and EU levels, including by the European Commission and European Cultural Foundation in Amsterdam, among others. Since 2015, such local events have been organized all across the country as a social franchise.
