About Chef Rang's talk

Every session runs 30 minutes

Every guest gets the same structure: introduction (5 min), first guiding question (5 min), second and third guiding questions (10 min), student Q&A (10 min).

The three guiding questions are sent to the speaker in advance, so there is time to think about the answers. A slideshow is required — it helps students follow your story, especially where you are describing places, people or work they have not seen. Please prepare your own; we provide the screen, not the slides.
