Chef Thierry Marx is well-known for his support for young people in socio-professional insertion, vulnerable people and, more recently, soldiers in Ukraine.
A multi committed man who gives hope to those he helps through:
👉 His network of 9 Cuisine Mode d’Emploi(s) schools, which, since 2012, has been offering pathways to integration to people who are excluded from professional opportunities by training them free of charge in the culinary professions, with a 90% integration rate,
👉 The Franco-Ukrainian project “La Cantine de Marioupol“, in which he has joined forces to train twelve Ukrainians at his school in Toulouse in cooking and running a restaurant.
His values can be summed up in 3 letters – RCR: rigor, commitment and regularity. This is what he instils in people crossing his path.
His motivation: to put his expertise, time, and resources at the service of a fairer, more sustainable and more peaceful world, by supporting young people in particular.
