A look inside the Children's Kitchen

Whether it is helping a neighbor, organizing an activity for children, or supporting the elderly; in The Hague we are there for each other. In the section Hagenaars voor elkaar (The Hague residents for each other), we share stories about The Hague residents who are committed to others and to the city. A city in which we look out for each other. A city we can be proud of!

In this edition of Hagenaars voor elkaar, we focus on the Kinder Keuken. The Kinder Keuken is a social initiative where children aged approximately 9 to 12 learn to cook, work together, and are introduced to different cultures. The activities take place at Participatie Keuken in Moerwijk. Children meet in a fixed group, usually one afternoon a month, and cook under the guidance of a professional chef and a coordinator. In addition to cooking, the emphasis is on social skills, friendships, healthy eating, and being mindful of food waste. They work extensively with seasonal products and donated ingredients.
