“With this global art sailing project, I aim to combine art, science, and ocean navigation.

The Historical Significance and Future Voyage of “Next Island”

As the “Beacon of Pearl River Civilization,” Nanhai’s Xiqiao Mountain has witnessed 40,000 years of human history. Six thousand years ago, the dual-shouldered stone tool culture of Xiqiao Mountain spread to Southeast Asia and the islands of the South Pacific. For over a thousand years, Nanhai has played a vital role as a key hub of the Maritime Silk Road, deeply involved in the great cycle of land and sea trade. The continuous evolution of this civilization demonstrates that Xiqiao Mountain is not only a symbol of Chinese historical civilization but also a testament to international exchange. Today, Xiqiao Mountain continues to carry a new mission, serving as the platform for the “Next Island” Global Art Sailing Project, promoting the integration of art, technology, and culture.

This art vessel also symbolizes cross-border connectivity and collaboration. Xiang Yang, together with artists, scientists, scholars, entrepreneurs, and individuals from diverse fields, will join forces to co-create an open and inclusive art collaboration. This project will gather people from different nations and backgrounds to promote peace and unity, actively practicing global civilization initiatives and overcoming barriers. Throughout the global sailing route, the project will host international art exhibitions, academic forums, educational workshops, and community interactions.

By organizing art symposia, public lectures, experimental projects, performances, and interactive exhibitions, the “Next Island” project will engage with local communities at each port of call, promoting the sharing and co-creation of global cultural and artistic endeavors.

Art is not only an exploration of the unknown but also a means of shaping the future. The project will center around a “global voyage,” combining the power of technology and art to merge innovative ideas and methods that drive societal progress. In the current environment, where global cultural exchange faces new challenges and opportunities, the “Next Island” project is focused on cultural and artistic exchange while emphasizing the balanced development of natural ecology, society, and humanity. By using art and culture as bridges, the project aims to connect people from all over the world, fostering appreciation and respect for global cultural diversity. It seeks to raise awareness of environmental protection, green energy, and sustainable development, ultimately achieving cultural integration and the pluralistic coexistence of global civilizations.

‘Growing Great Chefs’ aligns with our mission to inspire and nurture the next generation of chefs,” says Emmanuel Lorieux, Nestlé Professional Global Executive Chef and Global Culinary Partnership Manager. “By engaging youngsters in this hands-on learning experience, we hope to ignite their passion for cooking and foster healthy lifelong habits.”

“Growing Great Chefs”

This year’s theme, ‘Growing Great Chefs,’ welcomes young enthusiasts into the wonderful world of cooking, teaching them not only how to prepare delicious dishes but also how to make informed food choices.

President of Singapore Chefs’ Association, Eric Neo, says in his opening speech, “International Chefs Day is a day which is very close to our hearts, as it reminds us of the responsibility and power chefs have in influencing the next generation. We also greatly value the support Nestlé Professional Singapore has given us over the years to make this possible.”

Based on the theme, Nestlé Professional Singapore and Singapore Chefs’ Association put together a programme that emphasized on sustainability and the importance of using healthy ingredients.

After the welcome addresses by Chef Eric Neo, invited guests were given an introduction to indoor farming by Grobrix, a partner of Nestlé Professional Singapore.

The Nestlé Professional Customer Engagement Centre (CEC) was also transformed into a food preparation activity area for 20 children, aged from 8- 10 years old.

About International Chefs Day

International Chefs Day offers chefs a unique opportunity to connect closely with children, teaching them about the delights of cooking and all about our hero ingredients. This celebration is more than just a day; it’s a chance to make a lasting impact on the lives of young people, encouraging them to explore the culinary arts and learning about different food groups.

Nestlé Professional also provides a comprehensive toolkit that includes posters, recipe cards, workshop tips, games and educational resources. Among these is a ‘balanced plate’ guide, designed to inspire young chefs to create well-balanced meals using a variety of food groups. Events across the globe will include cooking workshops, education sessions, food safety awareness, farm visits, food art and cultural culinary journeys. In 2023, International Chefs Day reached new heights with 456 events across the globe, involving about 3,700 chefs and over 140,000 children. This year, we are excited to build on this success, engaging even more young minds in culinary workshops that emphasize the joys of cooking and the importance of a balanced diet. 2024 also marks the 20^th anniversary of the creation of International Chefs Day celebrations.

This initiative is part of the broader Nestlé for Healthier Kids program (N4HK), which promotes balanced diets and healthy lifestyle habits for children aged 3–12 and supports parents and caregivers to raise healthier kids.

By collaborating with Worldchefs on International Chefs Day, we are taking another step towards achieving this ambitious goal, ensuring that children worldwide have the tools and knowledge they need to make informed food choices.
