Nourish to Flourish: My role in the project is to support the training and development of the students on this project to be proficient teachers and communicators before they run student-designed workshops on nutrition, physical activity, and mental health. In the first iteration of this project, seven students were trained as teachers. In our second interation of this project, a further eight students were trained. The project has expanded to collaborate with Beirut Arab University, where I trained two cohorts of students in Beirut and Tripoli; with a recent collaboration with W.H.O. Lebanon.

The Green Pathway: Community Food, Wellbeing, and Leadership for a Sustainable Future: In a collaboration between Nourish to Flourish and Cavendish Living Labs, the projects have worked together to attain funding from Westminster City Council to develop students into leaders in the local Westminster community by learning from existing community initiatives and developing workshops on the themes of sustainability, nutrition, and wellbeing.
