Cooking Workshops
You need a Flash plugin to view this player
There's an innovative settlement support program for African refugee students and their families being cooked up in Queensland. Funded through DIAC's settlement grants program, Nutrition Australia is running cooking and nutrition workshops at Junction Park State School in Annerley, which has about 60 African students, most from a Burundian background. The workshops were started when it was noticed some of the students were bringing unhealthy food to school for lunch, as their families were unfamiliar with shopping for western food. Now the workshops are up and running, they not only provide support for healthy eating but also give important links for the families to a whole range of support services, as well as an opportunity to improve their English skills - all the while having a great time in the kitchen.
