Blue Honey Local is hosting an Eritrean themed food pop-up, that will help refugees and asylum seekers make friends <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A food pop-up in Cardiff aims to help refugees and asylum seekers by encouraging people to make new friends and learn about new cultures. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue Honey Local is a music-orientated lounge space which serves vegan food until late in Cardiff. They will be hosting a food pop up which will be serving authentic Eritrean dishes. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The owner of Blue Honey Local, Andy Richards, said, \u201cthe food will have a communal vibe and as a group around the table, you try, and taste and talk and share.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think the main bridge is food, you have food on the table and it becomes the instigator to discussion, and I\u2019m hoping that happens here.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andy said, \u201cI think that we are lacking in events like this.\u201d He hopes the event will spread a tolerant and positive atmosphere.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andy was approached, and asked to run the event by a volunteer from Oasis<\/a>, a non-profit charity that aims to help refugees and asylum seekers in Cardiff. They have roughly 100 – 150 visitors every day.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a charity, their main aim  is to help refugees and asylum seekers integrate within the local community. They host a monthly event called Supper Club, which aims to bring people together through food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tess Seymour, from Oasis Cardiff, said, “[Food] is a language we all speak so whatever a person’s background, culture or language it naturally brings people together.”
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the beginning of this year, Nation of Sanctuary \u2013 Refugee and Asylum Seeker Plan was launched by Deputy Minister, Jane Hutt who said<\/a>, \u201cWe want to support refugees and asylum seekers to rebuild their lives and make a full contribution to Welsh society.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event is happening on 4 November, 18:00 – 22:30. Tickets are \u00a37.49 and you can buy a ticket for yourself and\/or an asylum seeker or refugee here<\/a>. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andy summarised,  \u201cI can\u2019t see any negative consequences, only positive and everyone gets food at the same time, right?\u201d
