Tea and Tolerance: An event that unites culture, inclusion, and solidarity at the LUM.

On September 28th, the terrace of the Place of Memory, Tolerance, and Social Inclusion (LUM) will become the stage for a unique event: "Tea and Tolerance." This celebration aims not only to share the rich British cultural heritage but also to promote the values of tolerance and social inclusion at a time when empathy and solidarity are more necessary than ever. Organized by The Gay Baker, the well-known British bakery led by Kristopher Collins and Francis Moscoll-Chávez, the event promises to be an enriching experience. Attendees will enjoy a talk about the tradition of tea in the United Kingdom, exploring its preparation, rituals, and the role it plays in the daily lives of the British. This aspect is not trivial, as tea transcends mere beverage, symbolizing moments of social connection and reflection. Additionally, the relevance of the LUM in Peruvian society will be addressed during the day. This museum, which honors the victims of violence and promotes historical memory, serves as a constant reminder of the importance of tolerance and inclusion in a country that has suffered greatly throughout its history. The talk will provide insight into how a space of memory can contribute to reconciliation and mutual understanding in a complex social context. Event participants will not only enjoy a space dedicated to dialogue and reflection but will also be treated to a delicious culinary selection that includes unlimited English tea, two scones with clotted cream and jam, and a slice of Victoria sponge, a classic of British baking. Undoubtedly, a perfect way to accompany the conversation while savoring delights that evoke English tradition. The event will take place during the traditional tea time in England, from 3 to 5 p.m., a moment that invites pause and togetherness. With each sip of tea, attendees can immerse themselves in the warmth of this custom while reflecting on its significance in a Peruvian context. It is important to highlight that the proceeds from this event will go to a group of women displaced by terrorism, a cause that underscores the LUM's mission to promote social inclusion and support the most vulnerable groups. This gesture of solidarity adds a special dimension to the celebration, making each ticket a contribution to rebuilding lives affected by violence. The combination of culture, gastronomy, and solidarity makes "Tea and Tolerance" an attractive proposal for those seeking experiences that enrich the mind and heart. In a world where intolerance and misinformation often prevail, such initiatives become vital for building bridges of understanding. We invite the community to participate in this meaningful gathering, not only to enjoy good tea and delicious desserts but also to be part of a necessary dialogue. The act of sharing a cup of tea can be a powerful symbol of openness and respect for others, qualities that must be cultivated in contemporary society. The LUM terrace will be the meeting place for those who believe in the importance of memory, tolerance, and inclusion. Do not miss this opportunity to contribute to a noble cause while immersing yourself in British culture and the profound meaning that tea can have in our lives.
