IndienThe content of the project needs to be followed more closely and teachers should focus on the gaps students may not have filled to complete the projects more closely as per given pointers. Overall its a great initiative and happy to be part of the project.

Indien🌍🍲 Global Food Stories and Traditions - University Students Collaboration@Class2Class.org Today our online session became like a world kitchen where different cultures, stories, smiles, and friendships came together. Students and teachers from many countries connected through conversations, drawings, traditional foods, and family stories. During the breakout room sessions, students shared special places from their countries, festival foods, happy memories, and beautiful cultural traditions. It was wonderful to see students speaking confidently, listening to each other, and learning that even though our foods may look different, the feelings behind them are the same everywhere — love, family, celebration, and togetherness. A heartfelt thank you to all the respected educators who guided and supported the students during the session: 🇺🇸 Tr. Danielle Truszkowski – United States 🇧🇩 Tr. Fatema Tuj Jaman – Bangladesh 🇧🇷 Tr.
