Thus Beatte’s account provides a positive experience of the Küfa. In her view, the Küfa extends beyond the sole purpose of raising money since it helps generate sociability and interactions as people work together. She also thought that the Küfa might produce deeper discussions about the topic of migration. Thus, a mundane event such as chopping vegetables and cooking could potentially serve to transform people’s experiences and perspectives on issues such as migration and also help create reunions. Yet Beatte did not completely idealise this action as she recognised the fact that even in this highly sociable and convivial context, one could not dismiss the possibility that people could experience exclusion. Jörg provided a similar perspective about his own experience with the organisation of the Küfa:Küfa is one of the best things of Schlafplatzorga. You are just cooking together, inviting people. Having a good time. There is just fun actually. Just the shared experience of cooking and eating. There is no dogma in there. And I want to keep that also. There is the opportunity for also breaking hierarchies between searchers and members and also opportunities for potential offers. People may ask, ‘What is Schlafplatzorga? Giving my couch what?’ And then people come to the Küfa and they meet the people and they see for themselves. And normally, then there is a lot of new offers actually. Because nobody feels pressed to oblige and people feel that if I want I can join. And if I don’t I can leave my 5 Euros and come again (laughs).
