Course Description
A Taste of African Heritage (ATOAH) is a 6-week cooking curriculum that teaches history, nutrition, and cooking techniques that reconnect participants with the vibrant, healthy traditions of the African Diaspora. A Taste of African Heritage Curriculum Training for CHWs is the only curriculum approved to trains CHWs and CHW Instructors to deliver and evaluate the evidenced-based, culturally competent nutrition education program.
The African Heritage Diet is an evidenced-based program development by Oldways, a nonprofit dedicated to improving public health by inspiring individuals and organizations to embrace the healthy, sustainable joys of the “old ways” of eating—heritage-based diets high in taste, nourishment, sustainability, and joy. By the end of this course, the CHW will be able to:
- Compare and contrast traditional African heritage eating patterns to modern eating and lifestyle patterns
- Demonstrate understanding of the “A Taste of African Heritage” eating model based on the traditional diets of the African Diaspora
- Explain which conditions African Americans are likely to suffer disproportionately from
- Describe key features of the traditional African Heritage diet that contribute to good health
- Verbalize considerations for tailoring culturally appropriate education using adult learning principles
