Code Noir is an interactive/participatory learning experience, in various forms including a dinner, workshop and talks. Code Noir is a learning resource that facilitates participants’ engagement in the food history of the Caribbean, exploring the wider subjects implicated, including slavery, colonisation, globalisation. By taking the form of dinners, workshops, and talks the topics become digestible and approachable for participants, making way for deeper thought and action surrounding the impact of global trade colonisation, slavery and immigration in their own communities.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxAmsterdam, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxAmsterdam event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
