## About this plan

If you want a free family plan in Bogotá, this workshop at the Néstor Forero Alcalá Public Library invites you to cook a simple recipe with produce from BibloRed gardens. As the dish comes together, each participant shares memories tied to a family kitchen, a market, a plaza, or a tradition that connects to the city.

The stories get recorded as voice notes to build a shared memory of flavors and local knowledge. The activity is built for conversation, learning, and connection through food, in a friendly setting within the Puente Aranda area.
