a kitchen to improve the inclusion of people with disabilities

That’s it, the month of November is definitely here. It is gray, cold, the sun is setting earlier and earlier and the Covid seems to be starting again.

Monday, the French students will find their teacher but also the mask in 39 departments where they had yet left just before the holidays. And France is not the only one to face the beginning of a resumption of the epidemic: all of Europe is seeing the contamination figures go up, a recovery which “alarm” the World Health Organization. Alain Fischer, infectious disease specialist, refuses for the moment to speak of wave, attributing this increase to a “weather more favorable to transmission”.

Cases of police violence, we all know at least one. And movies, like Wretched recently or My 6-T is going to crak-er more than 20 years ago, shed light on what surveys and testimonies have been telling us for years: it’s worse in the suburbs. Tensions between young people and peacekeepers even seem to be worsening since 2005, when two young people were electrocuted after a chase with the police, triggering riots in the Parisian suburbs.

So to try to remedy this, to re-establish dialogue between the two parties, associations like “Graines de France” are busy. Ariane Griessel, from the police-justice service of France Inter, came to tell us about a workshop “My city will create” intended to recreate the link between police and youth.

Finally, we take you to the kitchens of “Biscornu”, which is not quite a kitchen like the others. First, because we cook recipes there using vegetables that are damaged or out of size and therefore traditionally discarded. Secondly and above all, because the apprentices who work there are all disabled.

One way for Olivier Tran, its founder and father of Alexandre, suffering from severe autism, to create a space of inclusion and professional integration through cooking for young disabled people. Romane Brisard, reporter at Fifteen minutes, went to walk her microphone behind the stove.
