Food for Thought
Intensive Food Technology Courses

Many years ago now, we had the revolutionary idea of sending British school children to France to learn some of the secrets of French Cuisine.

Thousands of children have returned home fired with culinary inspiration and loaded down with garlic, cheese and the statutory baguette. The success of these courses encouraged us to extend our programme. Our Food for Thought cuisine courses to France, Italy, Spain, Greece and Germany are well-established and firm favourites with many schools. This year we have introduced a number of new exciting destinations to our unrivalled Food for Thought Courses. - Contact the office for details.

Language

The value of these courses is not just in the food technology field. The foreign language element in both the cookery demonstrations (although we do provide an interpreter) and the programme of food related visits is extremely beneficial to all students of French, Spanish, German or Italian.

Culture

Through studying food and drink production, shopping, how food is prepared and what people eat, students gain an insight into the local culture of the country and the region that you are visiting.

Travel broadens the mind

Gaining knowledge outside of the classroom environment, has the potential to both enhance and compliment the learning process. That is why at Equity we believe the first hand experiences our tours deliver, help provide a complete understanding of any subject.

Hundreds of teachers recognise that the “school trip” can develop key life skills, build a young persons confidence, self esteem and communication proficiency. For the pupils, Equity try and make a UK or Overseas stay away from home an exciting experience that stimulates both inquisitiveness and imagination and ignites the desire to learn and travel.

Alternative Study Courses from Equity School Travel are available for other Subjects.
