This year is again about doing good during the Christmas time: acting together, for each other.
The idea is simple: between December 02 and December 18, a regional, national or international dish will be prepared daily at 5 p.m. by a team of “culinary enthusiasts” and served to Christmas market visitors for a donation. The donations raised will benefit charitable and community-building activities in the EuropeCity of Görlitz-Zgorzelec.
17 days ! 17 dishes ! five p.m.
Acting.Concretly.Jointly.

You would like to support this campaign “with full pots instead of empty words”? Form a cooking team ! For example, with your family members, friends, relatives, acquaintances, club or work colleagues.

Let’s go !
- You form a cooking team, give it a name and state the contact person.
- Decide what you want to cook.
- Start a reservation request – exclusively by eMail – to: 1717[at]fvks.eu. See below for details.
- Buy the ingredients: about 30 to 50 servings is a good experience value, “more is always possible, of course”.
- On your day of service, please come to with the prepared ingredients in time for the “17-Days Christmas Pagoda” at Görlitz Untermarkt.
- The cooking tent at the market is available all day.
- At 5 p.m., the food will be prepared and ready for guests to enjoy for a donation.

Reservation ?
Start your request for a reservation exclusively by eMail to:
1717[at]fvks.eu. This includes …
- Name of your team + contact person, preferably with eMail and phone number.
- Short description of what you want to cook, own creations are always possible.
- If you need any special equipment, please add it (e.g. giant pan, grill or similar).
- Please if possible name three desired dates between 02.12. and 18.12. . We try “our best” and get back to you.
important !
- In principle, reservations are possible as long as there are free time slots.
- On this page, we always publish dates that have already been booked in a timely manner.
- Please give us a small amount of time to get back to you.

What else ?
- It is about practicing solidarity, the 17-days campaign is not a competition for the “largest bills”, also “small” helps a lot.
- The campaign takes place at Christmas market, so on site … and not on the Internet. That’s precisely why “social media” is a small trifle compared to your commitment in and around the cooking tent.
- The 17-days campaign is non-political, rather very personal ! Therefore there are no corresponding ensigns, national flags, banners or similar in the area of the cooking tent.
- References to your personal engagement are welcome.
- Unfortunately, we cannot finance the ingredients for your cooking event.
Cooking ?!
- Crockery and cutlery are available. Please provide the necessary equipment for your cooking event, such as pots, pans and other tools.
- The cooking will be made fresh and together at the market, don’t miss this pleasure … . Therefore, “the warmed up” is really not an option.
- No time for cooking ? Then become a benefactor and sponsor of the cooking teams or the entire project. A certificate of donation is of course possible.
