EduChef is a sustainable food education course aimed at off-campus students enrolled in the first year of first and second level degree courses, who live alone and independently manage their daily diet, aimed at promoting lifestyles oriented towards well-being and responsible consumption.

The project, which is a real cooking course, takes place at the beginning of the academic year and each year includes four editions, each for 16 participants. Lessons take place in Padua from Monday to Friday in the evening at cooking workshops.

Durante the meetings, students have the opportunity to learn some guidelines for the management of the food pantry, as well as the knowledge necessary for the correct storage of fresh food, safety in the kitchen and the potential of a single dish, as well as being trained in the preparation of first and second courses and desserts.

The initiative aims to spread knowledge of the basic principles of healthy cooking, but also a greater awareness of what impact our food choices can have on the environment, communities and people.
