Paññāsāstra International School – Battambang Branch recently hosted an enriching hands-on experience where students immersed themselves in Khmer culture through traditional cooking. This engaging event not only celebrated Cambodian heritage but also cultivated teamwork, life skills, and a deeper connection to local identity—all in a fun, practical setting.

The cooking activity gave students the opportunity to prepare traditional Khmer food under the guidance of their teachers. From mixing ingredients to plating dishes, each student played an active role, reinforcing values like cooperation, attention to detail, and pride in their national culture.

Learning Through Culture and Cuisine

This initiative reflects the school’s commitment to holistic education—one that goes beyond textbooks to nurture the heart, hands, and mind. Cooking together teaches more than just culinary skills. It builds confidence, encourages communication, and fosters respect for cultural traditions.

As students chopped vegetables, stirred sauces, and shaped traditional treats, they also learned about measurements, food hygiene, and the significance of different dishes in Cambodian customs. These interdisciplinary lessons support both academic goals and personal development.

Bringing Generations Together Through Food

Teachers shared stories behind each recipe, creating a space where students could understand their heritage in a tangible, memorable way. Activities like this help bridge generational knowledge and instill in students a lifelong appreciation for their roots.

By connecting education with real-world practices, Paññāsāstra International School promotes a balanced learning experience that empowers students to succeed academically while remaining grounded in their identity.
