FACILITATOR TRAINING

Free training for schools and communities.

Our training prepares facilitators to be able to run our 6-week Kinder Kitchen Foundation Course for young people aged 11 to 16 within a secondary school setting or any other community setting which has a learning kitchen environment. You will learn how to deliver KINDER (sustainable living) and KITCHEN (cooking) skills in a creative and impactful way.
