This brief, 30-minute webinar reviews the benefit of sharing family meals and how to put on a successful family cooking event. Specifically, the presenters review the strategies for hosting an event, such as collaborating with a community partner and considering your audience. They speak about the stakeholders and main players needed, as well as how to involve students and families in planning and implementation.
The presenters also provide examples of what your family cooking event could look like, diving into the nitty-gritty of planning your event. They give examples of recipes and activity stations that work well, and provide recommendations of how to organize a timeline, garner RSVPs, and develop an event plan.
I would recommend this webinar to school dietitians and wellness coordinators/specialists looking to engage more families in health and wellness opportunities!
