Every young person with talent and drive deserves a seat at the global table, yet equal access to life changing international opportunities is not always a reality.
On September 20th, our Prepare Produce Provide delegation officially departs for Italy to represent Western Australia at Terra Madre 2026. Hosted by the Slow Food movement, this international gathering brings together global Indigenous leaders, chefs, and changemakers to celebrate food sovereignty and traditional knowledge.
Our team, including Elder Aunty Dale Tilbrook, Lead Program Developer Dee Hedland, Lead Youth Ambassador Molly West, Quinlan Clinton, and Chef Tanya Healy, will take the international stage. They will present a featured Kitchen Without Borders presentation highlighting five Western Australian hero ingredients, boab nut, sandalwood nut, saltbush, quandong, and wattleseed, sharing the story of Djinda Ngardak through food and culture.
Our youth delegates have proven their dedication, skill, and pride through months of hard work. They deserve the exact same platforms, global connections, and professional horizons that are so readily available to many others in their field.
We are in the final countdown before departure and need our community behind us to cross the finish line. Every contribution directly levels the playing field and ensures our emerging leaders can walk onto the world stage where they belong.
