Support from Movetia
The local organisation submits an annual application to Movetia in order to obtain possible financial support for participants with a multiplier function. The decision is made by the responsible Movetia committee at the end of May of each calendar year.

Please note: Movetia's funding criteria become stricter every year and approval cannot be guaranteed. Nevertheless, we will do our utmost to facilitate co-financing in order to reduce the participation costs for participants.

Part of the training programme takes place at the CieCAS premises in Shanghai, another part in Yantai. The programme combines theoretical knowledge with practical cooking training - including a cultural framework.

Shanghai is not only one of the most dynamic metropolises in Asia, but also a centre of Chinese food culture. The city combines traditional dishes from the Jiangnan region with modern, international influences. From steaming xiaolongbao in small cookshops to innovative fine dining cuisine, Shanghai offers culinary diversity at the highest level.

The city is famous for its light, slightly sweet Shanghai cuisine (Hu cuisine), which elegantly combines ingredients such as river fish, soya sauce and rice wine. Numerous markets, cookery schools and restaurants invite you to discover, taste and learn - an ideal environment for anyone who wants to broaden their culinary horizons.

The CieCAS team consists of internationally experienced chefs from Michelin restaurants and renowned cookery schools. The programmes combine sound theory with practical training and strengthen creativity, craftsmanship and cultural understanding.

In addition to training courses, CieCAS also organises workshops, events and culinary encounters for a globally oriented audience.

Yantai is a charming coastal town in Shandong Province and is known for its natural beauty, fresh sea air and culinary specialities from the sea. The region is rich in fish, mussels and seaweed, which play a central role in the local cuisine. Here, participants not only experience a new culinary landscape, but also an authentic insight into life on China's coast.

Yantai offers an ideal complement to Shanghai: quieter, close to nature and deeply rooted in regional food culture. The combination of practical training and cultural exchange makes the stay in Yantai an enriching part of the overall programme.
