Dnipro State University of Internal Affairs hosted a culinary workshop as part of the “Titan Chefs” project, bringing together military veterans, cadets, lyceum students, and university students.
Together with experienced chefs, participants learned the art of preparing traditional Ukrainian dishes. This time, the masterclass focused on making varenyky — a symbol of Ukrainian cuisine and hospitality.
The project aims to create a platform for communication, socialization, and experience-sharing between generations. Veterans had the opportunity not only to share their stories but also to teach the younger generation to value traditions. In turn, the students learned more about the realities of defending Ukraine and the contributions of veterans to the country’s security.
After two meetings of the “Titan Chefs” project, it is evident that such events foster patriotism, mutual respect, and unity among young people. They emphasize the importance of intergenerational connections and symbolize solidarity in facing today’s challenges. The participants concluded the event around a shared table, discussing the dishes they prepared and exchanging impressions.
Initiatives like “Titan Chefs” demonstrate how culinary art can serve as a bridge between generations and support veterans’ rehabilitation through collaborative work and interaction.
The project was initiated by the university’s leadership as part of the Ministry of Internal Affairs’ “Friendly Support” program.
