Membership Information

Slow Food is a grassroots association open to all, and the diversity of its members is one of its greatest strengths. Anyone can become a member of Slow Food by filling out this membership form and returning it by post or email to info@slowfoodedinburgh.co.uk. Membership lasts one year and is renewable. UK annual subscription costs are Individual: £35 / Couple: £47. Members are part of a large and diverse international community as well as a smaller local community, the Convivium.

'Convivium’ is a Latin word that means 'a feast, entertainment, a banquet', and Slow Food uses this fitting name for its local chapters. Convivia are a local expression of the Slow Food philosophy and the nearly 1000 Convivia worldwide form the linchpin of the movement.

The Convivia build relationships with producers, campaign to protect traditional foods, organize tastings and seminars, encourage chefs to use local foods, nominate producers to participate in international events, and work to bring taste education into schools. But most important, they cultivate the appreciation of pleasure and quality in daily life.

A portion of each membership fee goes directly to the Slow Food Foundation for Biodiversity and to develop the Association in developing countries. Members have the opportunity to join the Convivium committees or to open a new Convivium. Each member can take an active role in determining the character of their Convivium and organizing events, or simply join in on the activities that interest them on a local, national and international level. Membership benefits include national newsletters, discounts on Slow Food merchandise and the right to participate in all Slow Food organized events at a discount.
