The #8WeekStreak Challenge, an initiative by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA), Dubai, encouraging the participation of school students from various schools in Dubai to challenge themselves and learn a new skill each week during the summer break.
The challenge themed around the ‘Five Ways of Wellbeing: Give, Be Active, Keep Learning, Connect and Take Notice’, focused on activities that were organized every week at different locations around the city of Dubai, with the final challenge in culinary being hosted by the International Centre for Culinary Arts (ICCA) Dubai on the 28th of August, 2019.
The culinary experience session at the ICCA Dubai saw the students hands-on cook and prepare a grand buffet under the guidance of ICCA Chef Instructors, Maia Tsakanova, Vinod Radhakrishnan and Edward Clegg.
