The culinary arts become a gateway to civic engagement by showcasing lessons from the garden and the kitchen that connect the past to the present and by encouraging students to share these common bonds of history with their family, friends, and community. Edible Education Experience in Orlando moves nutrition science from cafeterias to classrooms, where students learn about food origins, gardening, and healthy eating through hands-on culinary experiences.

Arts in Action is a new, four-part digital video series from WUCF that explores Central Florida’s creative community through the lens of civic engagement. Arts in Action aims to inspire viewers to engage in Central Florida’s arts community as a bridge to understanding, kindness, and creativity. The series also serves as part of WUCF’s larger three-year America 250 initiative supporting civics and democracy.   

The four-episode series premiers weekly on Tuesdays beginning April 15.
