CHOCOLATE UNIVERSITY

Chocolate University is funded by Askinosie Chocolate and through the generosity of The Askinosie Foundation supporters... Chocolate University is a neighborhood and global outreach initiative of Askinosie Chocolate and The Askinosie Foundation. As an experiential learning program for local students with an international reach, we aim to inspire students, through the lens of artisan chocolate making, to be global citizens, know themselves and their opportunities and embrace the idea that small businesses can solve world problems... The Chocolate University program leverages the close, direct-trade relationships Askinosie Chocolate builds with cocoa farmers across the globe as a point of intersection for students from southwest Missouri to establish a sense of global perspective and plant the seed of global citizenship. Chocolate University also works to harness the learnings and lessons that Shawn found meaningful during his journey from criminal defense attorney to chocolate maker...
