Robyn Cook, as the Founder and Trainer Facilitator at The Kitchen Garden Teacher, brings over 20 years of extensive experience in education, community engagement, and program development. Her current role allows her to blend her passion for sustainability with her commitment to empowering young minds through hands-on learning experiences. At The Kitchen Garden Teacher, Robyn leads innovative initiatives that integrate gardening and cooking into educational curricula, fostering a deeper connection between students and their food sources.
One of her key projects includes collaborating with Coast2Bay in Nambour, where she delivers community-building experiences at the Arundell Ave housing complex. This initiative not only enhances community cohesion but also provides invaluable learning opportunities for participants, particularly in understanding the importance of local food systems and sustainability practices. Robyn's work with primary school children, where she explores the fascinating world of insects, exemplifies her dedication to experiential learning and environmental stewardship.
Additionally, as a member of the Secondary Years Project Advisory Committee for the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation, Robyn contributes her expertise in curriculum development and program implementation. Her skills in public relations, marketing communications, and fundraising are instrumental in promoting the STUFFit Student Film Festival, an immersive education program that equips students aged 16 to 19 on the Sunshine Coast with essential skills in event management and creative expression. Through her multifaceted approach, Robyn Cook continues to inspire the next generation of leaders, fostering a culture of sustainability and community engagement.
