For our Little Ambassadors
Children are curious by nature. It is their job to venture, feel, seek what interests them and cultivates their imagination. Cooking is an essential part of any human activity, and a skill that holds so many positive influences when started at a young age. Through cooking easy and fun simple dishes, with chefs from Embassies, they will learn endless information about their culture, history, language and country. This will be the best textbook in learning about different countries with hands-on experience and true interaction with the people who best represent their own countries. This, we believe, will broaden our ‘Little Ambassadors’ perspective and give them the base of being true global people in the future.
Parents of Little Ambassadors
For our vision to succeed, the parents’ understanding for this program is essential and key for their children to become Little Ambassadors. There are many ways to learn about different cultures, it’s people and their countries, but we have decided to use something very essential in every culture to become the starting point for our Little Ambassadors’ worldly interaction - COOKING THEIR TRADITIONAL FOOD. Every culture has unique dishes and cooking methods, ingredients and stories behind each traditional and local food. Some come from a long lineage of family recipes passed down from generation to generation. Others have come from refined traditions, and noble history. As a whole, food and food culture embodies the essence of each culture and their people in very intimate ways. And what better way to learn about a culture and its people other than cooking their very own food?
So, we have decided to use this amazingly fun and delicious method of cooking with chefs or people from each embassy, to represent their traditional dishes. This gives them the opportunity to interact, and teach about the story behind the food including culture, language, customs, and interesting information about their country on a whole new level. And with the delicious interaction of using hands-on experience, of making the food (active interaction) and devouring it later (taste-bud experience), will become an opportunity for our Little Ambassadors to appreciate more about the true cultural experiences.
