A Spring Seminar on the theme of Solidarity and Disability!
It was at the MEL business incubator in Armentières that our spring seminar took place, hosted by the wonderful team of La Cuisine de Jeannette!
The entire team worked together to develop new processes to improve our methodology. The goal was indeed to streamline the work of consultants and the integration of new employees.
Then, a very friendly and 100% vegetarian lunch, prepared by the Super Jeannettes team, allowed us to spend time with our hosts. It was a moment of sharing during which we got to learn about the project’s history.
La Cuisine de Jeannette’s mission is to create sustainable employment for people with disabilities, raise awareness about disabilities through workshops, and fight against food waste. To achieve this, the team, composed of people with disabilities, recovers fruits and vegetables that are deformed, too large, or too small, which they transform into jams. Blind dinners are also offered.
In the afternoon, the Optimal Ways team participated in a pickle workshop, guided by Ombeline Gille, the founder of La Cuisine de Jeannette.
The goal was also to contribute time to this association. Through a few hours of volunteering, the team worked together on tasks quite different from their usual daily routine: labeling jars of jam, personalizing paper bags, various cleaning tasks… A good atmosphere and lots of laughter guaranteed!
At La Cuisine de Jeannette, we discovered a new perspective on differences, solidarity that enables genuine reintegration for people with disabilities, anti-waste jams, and very big hearts!
