Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
WE ARE COMMITTED TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CULTURAL AND GASTRONOMIC EDUCATION AND EXCHANGE. IN SUPPORT OF OUR MISSION, WE WORKED ON THE FOLLOWING THREE PROGRAMS:1. CHEF SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM IN JAPAN-THIS PROGRAM SENDS CHEFS FROM THE UNITED STATES TO JAPAN ON A TWO-WEEK CULINARY CULTURAL IMMERSION PROGRAM WHICH INCLUDES, STAGING IN TOP JAPANESE RESTAURANTS, LEARNING ABOUT NEW COOKING TECHNIQUES AND INGREDIENTS AND PROVIDING CULTURAL EXPERIENCES IN THE ARTS, FOOD AND LIFESTYLE OF JAPAN. THROUGH EXPOSURE TO THESE NEW IDEAS, CHEFS INTEGRATE KNOWLEDGE LEARNED INTO THEIR CULINARY REPERTOIRES ENHANCING THEIR ABILITIES AND PROVIDING THEM WITH INCREASED SUCCESS IN THEIR CAREERS AND FURTHERING THEIR APPRECIATION OF JAPANESE CULTURE. DUE TO THE COVID PANDEMIC, THIS PROGRAM NEEDED TO BE POSTPONED TO 2023.2. CHEF SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM IN THE U.S.- THIS PROGRAM IS THE OPPOSITE OF THE CHEF CULINARY PROGRAM IN JAPAN AS IT BRINGS CHEFS FROM JAPAN TO THE U.S TO EXPAND THEIR HORIZONS BY BEING IMMERSED IN A PROGRAM OF STAGING IN TOP RESTAURANTS IN THE U.S. AND EXPERIENCING CULTURAL AWARENESS OF AMERICAN PRODUCTS, ULTIMATELY FURTHERING THE CHEFS' APPRECIATION OF AMERICAN CUISINE AND PROMOTING A FIRM APPRECIATION OF CULTURE IN THE U.S. DUE TO THE COVID PANDEMIC, THIS PROGRAM NEEDED TO BE POSTPONED TO 2023.3. STUDENT PROGRAMMING IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS- THE GOHAN SOCIETY PROVIDES EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING IN THE PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOLS ON JAPANESE COOKING TECHNIQUES AND INGREDIENTS AND PROVIDES NUTRITIONAL EDUCATION TO STUDENTS TO HELP THEM IN CAREER EDUCATION AND TO UNDERSTAND HEALTHY OPTIONS IN EATING AND COOKING FOR THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES.
