The Mindful Kitchen Project at TU Dublin offers modules on ‘Health and Wellbeing for Chefs’ (2019) and Creativity & Social Gastronomy (2021). They focus on applied action and its impact on learning and future engagement with the topics in the workplace.

This fellowship will be used to co-create a new mindful-learning focused module, connecting chefs’ creativity with engaged action to act with responsibility to embed sustainability best practice in a professional kitchen.

Developing ‘sustainability from within’ and positive wellbeing is the starting point, promoting self-reflection for personal sustainability, empathy, and applied learning. It seeks to empower action and foster a sustainability mindset.
