# Global Change Cuisine Kialatok is a French Social Business Channeling Various Cultures By Social Business Editor | Published 2014-05-21 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kialatok References: [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/Kialatok) & [kialatok.fr](http://kialatok.fr) Kialatok has a business model and idea that we've seen before on SocialBusiness.org but it's such a good one that we're happy to see this kind of innovation multiply on the local level. Essentially, the French enterprise hires unemployed individuals from a variety of backgrounds and cultures and then trains them to be cooking instructors. Thus, Kialatok offers cooking lessons in different kinds of cuisine. "Indeed, we also prepare employees for expatriation, with a friendly introduction to their future host countries' cultures, thanks to our cooking lessons and cooking instructors from all around the world," they write. It looks like they've also created a community where people who would otherwise not connect get to break bread. **Contact Information** Kialatok [website](http://kialatok.fr/) Kialatok on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/Kialatok) Kialatok on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/kialatok) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 87% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Social Business Model:** Opportunity to create social impact by hiring unemployed individuals from diverse backgrounds and training them as cooking instructors. - **Cultural Experiences:** Opportunity to offer cooking lessons that provide a friendly introduction to different cultures. - **Community Building:** Opportunity to foster connections and relationships through shared meals and breaking bread. ### Where This Applies - **Hospitality:** Opportunity for hotels and restaurants to offer diverse cooking classes and cultural experiences to guests. - **Education:** Opportunity for educational institutions to incorporate cooking lessons as a way to teach diversity and cultural appreciation. - **Social Services:** Opportunity for organizations focused on employment and community development to implement similar social business models in other industries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Global Recipe Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ive-been-cooking.md) - [Recipe Sharing Networks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/icancookfood.md) - [Community-Oriented Cookbook Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foodies-cookbook-shop.md) - [CSR Baking Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baking-a-better-tomorrow.md) - [Chef-Led Meal Subscriptions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookunity.md) - [Food Sharing Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/totallychefs.md) - [Shared Kitchen Initatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shared-kitchen.md) - [Immersive Culinary Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immersive-culinary-experiences.md) - [Culinary Research Landmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gastronomy-open-ecosystem.md)
