October 23rd, 3:30 pm-4:30 pm PST
This event is part of Farm to School Month in Canada. Farm to School Month happens each October and is a time to showcase the many ways farm to school, also called local food to school, activities come to life. It’s an opportunity to celebrate the impacts of comprehensive school food programs and the people who make them possible and to explore an important theme related to school food. Since 2022 we’ve been celebrating the theme of Food Connects: The power of food to connect us to so much of the world around us. This year, we’re especially excited to celebrate the power of food to provide connections to different cultures.
Please join us on Wednesday, October 23 at 3:30 pm PT for an inspiring conversation that will explore how teaching about, serving and celebrating diverse cultural foods in schools offers opportunities for students to make meaningful connections to their own families and cultures as well as their peers, to curriculum and to the world around them.
Hosted by CBC Food & Wine Columnist, Shiva Reddy, at this event guest speakers from both elementary and high school programs will share how they are celebrating cultural foods in their school food programs. This webinar promises to share inspiring stories, thoughtful considerations and practical tips that a wide range of educators and school food practitioners can apply in their own school communities.
This event will be hosted in English and will be recorded. A recording with French subtitles will be made available after the event.
