Since its inception, the Italian Culinary Program has reached 25 culinary schools across China, engaging with over 5,330 students through the master class series, 3,197 students through Italian Culinary Workshops, and 67 culinary school instructors through the Italian Culinary Experience.

Moreover, “the collaboration with two schools that have proven to be exceptional partners in previous editions is set to continue as their continued participation is a testament to the program's quality and impact,” ITA says.
