About the Symposium
The inaugural Teaching Kitchen Symposium is designed for professionals across disciplines who are dedicated to advancing hands-on approaches to nutrition education and behavior change in teaching kitchen settings. Hosted by the University of Utah, a TKC Organization Member, this two-day continuing education event will feature a diverse lineup of expert speakers, invaluable networking opportunities, and engagement with local community and industry partners.
Participants will benefit from presentations, panel discussions, and interactive breakout sessions, gaining actionable insights on topics such as: leveraging community partnerships; the role of teaching kitchens within the broader Food is Medicine movement; incorporating mindfulness, movement and other lifestyle practices; elevating environmental sustainability; integrating technology for virtual or hybrid programs; exploring funding models that work; bringing cultural humility to the kitchen; evaluating your program; and more!
Learning Objectives:
After participating in the Symposium, attendees will be able to:
- Summarize how teaching kitchen programs play a critical role in the growing Food is Medicine, Lifestyle Medicine, and Whole Person Health movements.
- Recognize opportunities to leverage teaching kitchens and local food ecosystems to bridge the gap between communities and healthcare.
- Develop strategies for approaching and engaging potential stakeholders and funders.
- Acquire language and skills for creating culturally responsive and inclusive teaching kitchen programming and environments that cater to diverse learners and advance health equity.
- Identify practical approaches for improving teaching kitchen programs by incorporating environmental sustainability, enhancing technology integration for virtual learning, adapting curricula for diverse audiences, refining data tracking, and other key areas to boost operations, attendee engagement, reach, funding prospects, and overall impact.
