COOKING WITH REFUGEES

Tara Mahapatra 21 BachelorofCommerce/Law, University ofSydney

I joined Enactus, an international organisation that encourages university students to use entrepreneurial action to create a better world for all, in my first year of university. Currently, I am part of the Enactus University of Sydney project, CulinaryTales, which empowers refugees to run their own cooking classes in the community. The purpose of the project is to provide a social platform for refugees to share their stories, culture and recipes with the community, and to provide a source of employment. Being part of the project has been one of the greatest experiences in university, and has allowed me to meet so many wonderful people.

We offer cooking classes in Iranian, Indian, Lebanese, Tibetan and more cuisines. You can visit our website for further information about Culinary Tales and the classes www.culinary-tales.com
