A. Our project

  • About the project

    With the help of this project we want to promote cultural awareness and intercultural understanding among our students. We aim to teach learners about cooking and culture. Cooking techniques and ingredients vary widely across the world and reflects unique environmental, economic, and cultural traditions and trends. The participants are anticipated to cook their own traditional food and write recipes in English. The main idea of this project is to learn different cultures and introduce it to each other via traditional local food.
