Inspiration, Implementation, Impact:
Empowering Professionals for Teaching Kitchen Triumphs

About the Symposium

 

The inaugural Teaching Kitchen Symposium is for individuals across disciplines working to advance hands-on approaches to nutrition education and behavior change in teaching kitchen settings.

Hosted by The University of Utah, a Teaching Kitchen Collaborative Organization Member, this two-day continuing education event will include presentations and panel discussions, hands-on culinary experiences, and engagement with local community partners.

Attendees will leave with actionable insights on topics such as funding and business model development, technology integration, community partnerships, effective teaching skills for diverse populations, healthy equity considerations, research methods, and more.
