Bridge The Gap
Are you a sustainability or circularity professional? Are you part of a CSR, L&D or innovation team? Are you a food professional/creative, or perhaps an educator, artist or changemaker? Do you have the desire to develop a more inspirational Sustainability Transition Compass for your organisation and to see your potential from a new perspective?
Our School’s aim is to unlock the creative potential within every individual to make a difference, to promote a mindset that helps restores the balance with both environment and society. We explore the roots and conditions from which a circular, environmentally friendly mindset can naturally emerge in the artisan space, rather than forcing it in ways that are often feel artificial and ineffective.
At the core of our informal training programs is a simple idea: developing new recipes, creating new products, and engaging people to explore alternative ways of designing processes that prevent unnecessary food waste. Throughout this process, participants learn to recognize and value new connections that open up more circular production pathways within our bakery. They are then challenged to translate these insights about sustainable transitions into their own professional domains.
Learn about our philosophy and reintegrate your more earthy senses – smell, touch and taste – by experimenting with circular food recipes and transfer these universal concepts into the wider world! You will learn to navigate complexity, make new connections and unlearn the “linear” habits that often block the discovery of often hidden yet useful opportunities.

“Reintegrating our more earthy senses —smell, touch, and taste—may be an overlooked opportunity in today’s fast-paced world, especially when we try to develop fundamental ideas to address the environmental challenges of our time”
Engage your senses during our hands-on programmes where you will experiment with ways to prevent food waste and explore circular recipe design to spark fresh insights.
This approach reshapes how we think, act and relate to one another and provides tools for change and transformation in any context. Diverse challenges often share solutions grounded in common principles.
Let us guide you through our three challenges:
- Reconnect with your senses
Start by making one of our circular food items while learning about its story and focusing on your sense of taste, smell and touch. Use food as a playful way to explore connections with your senses, your community and your environment. Get to know our method, philosophy and each other.
- Connect the hidden dots
Co-design circular recipes through experimentation. Learn to prevent (food) waste by uncovering hidden relationships and by linking unexpected elements together. Engage, connect, care and experience how small actions can lead to meaningful change.
- Bridge the gap
Explore other domains (as well as your own) by converting what you have learnt into universal ideas. Use analogies to uncover shared patterns and transfer potential beyond food. Find clarity and build confidence to navigate less predictable conditions.
