Summer Course Invitation: Join us this season with "Spatel leeze"
The city of Münster is set to host an exciting educational cooking initiative for children, known as the "Spachtel-Leeze" project. This interactive event will take place at Münster Cathedral Square (Münster Domplatz) and is aimed at engaging young learners in hands-on cooking activities that teach them about food, nutrition, and culinary skills in a fun and interactive way.
About the "Spachtel-Leeze" Project
The "Spachtel-Leeze" project is a series of workshops that encourage children to get involved in cooking. During these sessions, they will be equipped with a chef's hat, apron, and a shopping list, guiding them through the process of buying seasonal and regional produce from market stalls. The cooking will take place on the mobile kitchen "Spachtel-Leeze".
Educational Goals
The primary goals of the "Spachtel-Leeze" project include:
- Promoting healthy eating habits
- Fostering creativity in cooking
- Teaching basic culinary techniques
- Encouraging teamwork and confidence in the kitchen
Project Goals
Beyond teaching practical cooking skills, the "Spachtel-Leeze" project aims to increase awareness about nutrition and the origin of food, make cooking approachable and enjoyable for young learners, and stimulate interest in food culture and regional ingredients.
Event Details
The cooking workshops are typically held regularly during school holidays or special event days. The exact frequency can vary depending on the season and organizers, but sessions are often held weekly or biweekly during these periods to accommodate more children.

The "Spachtel-Leeze" project is part of a broader initiative by Münster's Food Council, a non-profit association, to promote a resilient, fair, and community-oriented food system in Münster and the Münsterland region.
- The Spachtel-Leeze project, a part of Münster's Food Council, also extends to the realm of health-and-wellness, as it teaches children about healthy eating habits.
- Not only does the Spachtel-Leeze project focus on cooking and food-and-drink, but it also emphasizes education-and-self-development, fostering creativity in cooking and teaching basic culinary techniques.
- In addition to advocating for a resilient food system, the Spachtel-Leeze project enlightens children about the lifestyle aspects of cooking, such as where food comes from and the importance of regional ingredients.
