Introduction With a focus to provide our students an international exposure and sensitising them on the essence of Ethnic food, we collaborated with Kaisei Junior High School, Japan and implemented an action plan in our curriculum for classes VI, VII & VIII which aimed at equipping the students with knowledge about the various ethnic cuisines; making them aware about the Slow Food Movement and to develop culinary skills. In today’s fast-paced world, fast food has taken over the gastronomic world. Students are also getting addicted to fast food which indicates a serious public health problem. Keeping this in

mind, the aim of this activity is also to introduce the concept of slow food among the students and to promote traditional food. Young students of the school showed their exuberance and excitement and actively participated in all the activities. All the competitions highlighted the students’ creative fusion cooking recipes, artistic talents in making posters and team spirit. Mrs. Deborrah Thabah Mrs. Jennita Ms. Aienla Imsong
