Integrating Language, Culture, and Tradition
The Greek Community Schools (GCM) successfully completed their Greek Cooking Classes for Adult Students on Thursday, September 26, at the Greek Centre. Participants learned how to prepare traditional Greek dishes such as spinach pie, galaktoboureko, and moussaka. In a warm and welcoming atmosphere, the adult students honed their culinary skills while gaining a deeper appreciation for Greek gastronomy and its cultural significance. They experienced the essence of a typical Greek meal, which is rooted in love and the spirit of sharing.
Anthi Tzani, teacher and coordinator of the Modern Greek for Adults program, highlighted the importance of these classes: "This experience not only connects our students to one another but also strengthens their bond with Greek culture and tradition, enhancing their enthusiasm and love for learning the Greek language."
These cooking classes are part of GCM Schools’ holistic, experiential teaching approach, reflecting the school’s mission to integrate language learning with culture and tradition.
