Transversal competence in Education is the most fundamental concept that guides Cooking Languages’ activities. Our workshops therefore aim at weaving and incorporating different educational aspects within a single session:
Our workshops are a hands-on experience and are designed with the cooperation of corresponding teachers to cover all learning areas:
Language
We encourage active use of grammar structures and vocabulary, according to class language level.
Recipes
We use seasonal produce, easy to acquire in our area; we prioritize fruits and cereals over other ingredients. We propose healthy recipes that show a sustainable patter of consumption. The cooking techniques and utensils depend on the age of the students and we adapt to the space available in schools.
