"Inspired by Slow Food Youth Movement's "Schnippel Disko" in Germany, Disco Soupe is a non-profit based in France that addresses issues of food waste through festive community events. We set up collective gatherings for people to peel, cut and prepare discarded fruits and vegetables ... to music! We turn the produce into soups and salads, then redistribute them for free." There are four dates in Paris in different locations, get more info (including the time it starts) on the Facebook site.
