How Much is Enough? is a participatory event consisting of initiating a symposium on selected topics engaging passers-by, involving them in the making and consuming of a dinner. The topics of discussion are selected every time according to the context in which the event takes place. Four facilitators are active throughout the duration of the event, mediating the dialogue between the participants as well as making sure that the food-preparation process takes place in the needed timing.
