This is only the beginning… When a teacher and a chef had a conversation back last April, the tenacity of Julia Mottershead shone through. Meeting Noel Kennedy his support for the ideas was also encouraging. The idea… into improve the food processes and systems across our city Stoke-on-Trent City Council Schools are known for not been budget rich. But they are rich in people, energy and ideas. These have incredible value. How can we improve student experience through food? How can we contribute to curriculum and learning? Is it possible to increase the cognition and skills in students in food at KS3+4? Some of the questions we are keen to explore. There is a synergie with education and hospitality also. One that is not often highlighted. Many people that arrive in our industry are neuro-divergent. Many of which have not been able to find a sense of place within education. Working with schools we can explore personal development, self awareness and skill development with young people. Hospitality offers so much to young people wether it’s for a few years or for their whole career. It’s fantastic to have this partnership with Thistley Hough. The allotment project is a great example of the work that is happening here. #cityallotment
