As part of the MoU signed between the Korea Culinary Arts Science (KCAS) High School, Korea, and C-Edge College (CEC) Dimapur, the 2nd Culinary and Cultural Exchange was held on January 13 at the College Campus.
The KCAS team comprised of ten students and three Professors. In the Culinary Exchange Session, students from both the Institutions shared and displayed their indigenous cuisines.
Through this, the students and the faculty in-charge learned the various food items and also its recipes. This was followed by Cultural Exchange program in the afternoon.
Some of the events covered during the Cultural Exchange Session were – Nagas Unveiled, Ethnic Show, a Sumi folk song, Yimchunger folk song and special presentation from KCAS. The cultural program culminated with the Unity dance by CEC members. At the end, members from the two institutions shared the Naga Unity Dance and Korean dance as a significance of Unity.
A dynamic lecture and interactive session was conducted by Rev. Chang-Sun Moon, visiting Professor Vision University, Korea, on the topic “Business as a Mission”, with the faculty and students of C-Edge College.
The program was hugely beneficial for all participating students and faculty, as the very concept of “food”, “cooking”, “eating” etc. which are generally considered as simply basic functions, actually requires a higher level of both science in knowledge of its ingredients and preparations for a healthier living, and an Art in its presentation of even the same food item.
