Lunch & Change x The Merode

What if you shared a meal with strangers?

We can’t change the world alone—so let’s start by connecting. Lunch & Change brings together 10 people passionate about societal impact for a bistronomic lunch at Restaurant Ciao.

Why join?

This is an opportunity to engage in meaningful, informal, and authentic conversations about what drives you, your vision, and your values—beyond just professional titles.

Who is it for?

Anyone passionate about making a difference—whether you’re an entrepreneur, executive, civil servant, employee, or politician, you are welcome!

The concept

A bistronomic three-course lunch (starter, main course, and coffee) shared with 10 complete strangers, with Luigi Sementilli as the discussion facilitator.

The golden rule

Your profession stays a mystery until the very end—no job titles, no introductions based on work… until the coffee is served! 😊

What’s on the menu?

At Restaurant Ciao, you’ll have two menu options, including a vegetarian choice. Each participant will enjoy a glass of wine or a soft drink, along with still or sparkling water. The meal concludes with coffee or tea, served with delightful mignardises.

Lunch & Change is an initiative by Positive Changemakers, the French-language podcast that spotlights those shaping a better future.
