Paris, 1 February 2025 – Worldchefs Academy is proud to announce the launch of Sustainability Education for Culinary Professionals course now in Arabic— a significant step in making this valuable education even more inclusive and accessible.

This launch marks a significant milestone for Worldchefs, as the course becomes a resource available for the tens of thousands of Arabic-speaking chefs worldwide.

A Global Initiative with Local Impact

Recognizing the growing demand for sustainability education from Arabic-speaking chefs, Worldchefs took a major step forward in 2023 by launching the Arabic version of the Sustainability Education trainers’ program, made possible by the expert translation of Ms. Shourouk Mohamed and Chef Haitham H. Hassoon.

This year, Chef Majed Al Sabagh, a highly respected culinary educator and Director of the Chef International Center (Chef Training And Consultancy) (CIC) in the UAE, along with his team, volunteered to adapt all of the Sustainability Education for Culinary Professionals curriculum into Arabic on Worldchefs Academy, ensuring the program resonated with Arabic-speaking learners. Thanks to the help and support of these key contributors, Worldchefs deepens its commitment to providing accessible learning opportunities for chefs around the world, inspiring positive environmental and social impact in kitchens and communities.

Celebrating Graduates from Arabic-Speaking Countries

The response to the Arabic version of the course has been overwhelmingly positive, empowering 12 newly-approved trainers from Arabic-speaking countries to lead the way in sustainability education. Already, over 3,600 students have graduated from the program including:

Egypt: 2,262 graduates
Saudi Arabia: 361 graduates
Iraq: 662 graduates
Jordan: 314 graduates
Algeria: 60 graduates

“Translating and recording this course into the Arabic version alongside my family and colleagues proved to be real teamwork. It’s not simply a matter of changing the words, but we worked to find new examples to place throughout the curriculum that align with Arabic culture and are meaningful to the Arabs who enroll. I’m looking forward to not only study it, but also implement it in our lifestyle,” said Chef Majed.

“We now have a remarkable opportunity to more deeply connect with Arab-speaking chefs through education. On behalf of the entire Worldchefs Board of Directors, we’d like to thank everyone whose dedication and expertise made this possible. We are extremely proud of this achievement and we look forward to furthering Worldchefs’ commitment to providing sustainability education in as many languages as possible,” said Worldchefs President, Andy Cuthbert.

A global community of action

Hear directly from Sustainability Education’s Approved Trainers and alumni how the course has helped to inform and activate culinary professionals around the world to build a better food future.

Valeria Hernandez

Corporate Executive Chef at Griffith Foods, Central America and the Caribbean

Environmental sustainability education has always been one of the most important topics for me as a chef since I come from a country in which we are very concerned about the environment. I always thought that we needed a massive effort to generate significant action, but after looking at Feed the Planet’s information, I realized that change can be created in small actions and that the power of a white jacket can change the world.

Soon Pau Voon

Teaching Fellow at Sunway University, Malaysia

Very interesting curriculum! The course provides an opportunity for students to explore a path away from traditional teaching and learning method. They are now more aware of the big word – Sustainability, and hopefully, they will use this knowledge in their future careers.

Mark serice

Vice President of Global Culinary at Griffith Foods

As chefs who fundamentally depend on the earth for inspiration and creativity, we are ethically bound to preserve those gifts through knowledge, understanding, and stewardship. The sustainability course from the Worldchefs is the first step for our global guild in moving forward to make a difference. We now have another opportunity to scale positive impact by working together globally.

Bongani Baloyi

Sous Chef at The Blue Train, South Africa

Today’s session was talking to me as an individual; it relates to me as a professional in my line of work. Really learned so much in terms of energy-saving measures, not only in my career space but also on a personal level, saving and using energy responsibly indeed plays a bigger role in our lives and sustainability. Change attitude and habits is a process I am beginning from this lesson going onwards, starting with changing myself first then automatically in the process of changing my team and colleagues.

Rochelle schaetz

Head of Marketing, Europe & Africa at Griffith Foods

As chefs, we often underestimate “the power of the white jacket” to influence the food choices consumers make. As custodians of the worlds’ food supply, we must lead by example, be responsible in our recommendations, menus, products, and in how we run our kitchens. The program reinforced the urgency of addressing the world’s food security challenges and the role we as chefs have to play.

Terry jenkinson

Head of Culinary Arts at Silver Spoon Hospitality Academy, Namibia

The sustainability course has proven to be very informative, especially as we here at Silver Spoon Hospitality Academy in Namibia have been active in creating an awareness of the importance of biodiversity, conserving natural resources, and making the most of products indigenous to our country. The students who participated in the curriculum have a better understanding of what we have been teaching as well as a newfound respect for ensuring long-term sustainability of our natural resources.

Amro Fahed Al Yassin
Vice President of the Emirates Culinary Guild and Worldchefs Academy Arabic Advisor

I’ve been watching Feed the Planet and sustainability programs. This is something that we are only in need of, it’s a must for each and every chef to do this. It’s a partnership in education. There is a lot of efforts from Worldchefs and you have the efforts from the restaurants to get people involved. They are caring about the education of their staff.

John carlo palacol

Faculty Member at LPU Laguna

Sustainability education is becoming increasingly important as we face environmental challenges such as climate change, resource depletion, and pollution. At Lyceum of the Philippines University (LPU) in Laguna, students are not only learning about sustainable practices, but they are also putting their knowledge into action through their participation in the Worldchefs Feed the Planet program.

The success of the Worldchefs program at LPU Laguna is a testament to the power of sustainability education. By providing students with the knowledge and skills to create sustainable food practices, they are not only making a positive impact on the environment, but they are also preparing themselves for careers in the food industry that are increasingly focused on sustainability.

The Feed the Planet program at LPU Laguna is an inspiring example of how sustainability education can lead to positive change. As we continue to face environmental challenges, sustainability education will become increasingly important in preparing the next generation to create a more sustainable future.
