DIMAPUR, JANUARY 24 (MExN): A team of 14 students from the Korea Culinary Arts Science School (KCAS), Korea, visited C-Edge College, Dimapur and had a day long Korea-Naga culinary exchange program on January 20. This was made possible under a MoU signed by the College with KCAS during 2015.
A press note informed that the KCAS team was led by their Vice-Principal, Park Dong and teacher Kwang Seok. During the first part, the KCAS team prepared various Korean cuisines which was followed by the C-Edge team showing them Naga cuisine preparation. This provided the lunch for the participating teams. The whole exercise was an enriching experience for all the participants and culinary arts and science as an viable vocational career was appreciated.
The second half of the day saw a cultural festival, where various Naga cultural items such as folk songs, folklore and dances were presented. The Korean team also presented music and dance items. During the day, a separate interaction was also conducted with faculty of the College with Prof. Chang-Sun of Vision University, Korea, who also accompanied the team.
The program was a good learning experience and the importance of practical education as opposed to an emphasis of education mostly on just academics, was an important part of the exchange program, the note added. The logistics and arrangements for both the Culinary and the Cultural festival were organized by the Fine Arts & Cultural Committee of C-Edge, and the program ended in the evening with a vote of thanks by Daisy Shitio, Academic Dean of C-Edge College.
