"KUS KUS is a project designed to enable unskilled and low-skilled adults and people with an immigrant background to develop entrepreneurial skills by exploring the opportunities offered by the culinary sector. Focused on ""world cuisines"", KUS KUS aims to promote the cultural and culinary heritage of adult learners. The gastronomic heritage is a vector for learning and knowledge of the territories and their stories for these immigrant populations (recent or older) and conversely by local actors. How can we imagine integrate the knowledge of the gastronomic heritage as a vector of integration and insertion? How can we think of the terroir and its local products as vectors of learning and sharing? The aim of this partnership work is to come up and product training tools and enable people with low qualifications to - access to high quality learning opportunities tailored to their needs, including the ability to develop entrepreneurial skills - access to high quality and adapated knowledge in commercial sector - access to know-how to move from a ""home"" activity to a ""business"" activity Based on relationships with local territory, we will product a tool that will develop synergies with ""world cuisines"" imported by migratory waves which come to enrich our gastronomic heritage. This project does not just promote local products or old recipes. For instead, this is an opportunity to put a new face on food, gastronomy, less elitist and more deep rooted in a societal culture. The project aims to create dynamic links with these territories and its actors. The project has a dual interest -for minorities to know the products and local gastronomy -for local actors: to adapt to global changes and feed of them, like Karen Blixen's European masterpiece Babette feast / Babettes Gæstebud.
