Families Exploring Culture

Jade Jones, owner of the Jonesin' For Taste blog, invites you to join her in the discussion of cultural awareness and world diversity. Learn how families teach their children to explore and embrace the world, its people and their differences with a compassionate heart and open mind. When we reach out of our comfort zone and seek to learn about other people, nationalities, and cultures, we become more empathetic. This creates a feeling of social connection and unification.

Connecting Food and Global Learning with Mireille Roc

October 15, 2020 • Jade Jones • Season 1 • Episode 5

On this episode, we discuss with Mireille Roc of Global Kitchen Travels about how recipes can be used as a way to teach children about other cultures, while also teaching them a life skill and reinforce important studies like history, geography and math. There is nothing like sharing a plate of delicious food to break down bias and misconceptions about other cultures.

On this episode we cover:

using recipes as a vehicle for learning about other countries
How to learn how to easily cook from different cuisines?
What are some fun projects to help inspire cultural learning in kids?
