Goals and Rationale

Global Food Studies 11 is designed to promote acceptance and embracement of cultural differences in our schools through the study of food and traditions in a variety of countries on 5 of the world’s continents. The intent is to foster a high level of understanding and interest in the differences and similarities that exist in the food habits of various cultures.

Big Ideas
