Food is a universal language that can be used to address abstract topics of great relevance for the individual and the context around. This workshop wants to explore the concept of sharing happiness engaging food culture in Chiang Mai scene and broadly to create new perspectives. It will help participants articulate their own personal code of happiness as well as collaborate with others to create a communal one and help participants articulate one. The workshop is designed by Veronica Fossa, chief happiness designer and founder at WE Factory, together with Mint Jarukittikun, a food enthusiast and service design specialist, to show the positive impact of food.
