What is

The Chocolate Story?

The Chocolate Story is an educational school program built on 5 unique workshops that all use chocolate to teach our children some of life’s most important lessons. The entire program is tied together by ‘The Little Chocolate Village’, a storybook written specifically for the course, to bring magic to what the student is learning and a stronger connection to the values that are woven into the program.

The Chocolate Story is full of hands-on learning with lots of kindness, characters and chocolate thrown in for good measure. The story ends with the students taking home their very own hand-made chocolate creation, but most importantly, a dream of how they can go out into the world and change it for the better.

¡Hola!

I’m Lydia.

I’m a travel-loving Spanish teacher who’s passionate about teaching our children about sustainability and social justice.

I wanted to create something to spark wonder in our little people for some of the sweeter things in life; community, kindness and cacao! At Strong & Heard, we use chocolate as a conduit to teach children how to be kinder to our people and our planet.

Come and turn the pages of The Chocolate Story incursion program with us.

We can’t wait to spend time with you!
