Dining etiquette workshop

Proper etiquette is essential for enjoyment of a meal and people around you. The Dining Etiquette Workshop held in March by the Wofoo Social Enterprises and co-organised by the Towngas and Youth Square offered almost 80 CDF participants an opportunity to learn proper table manners and the use of different dining utensils. World Wushu Champion Mr CHOW Ting-yu was invited to share his success story during the workshop. It was hoped that Mr CHOW's experience would inspire the participants.

What they say…

Participants of the "Growing Partners 2" Project organised by the Boys' & Girls' Clubs Association of Hong Kong, Kwun Tong District

"Now I understand that the table utensils for western dining are used from the outside in. I can also identify the uses of different dining utensils. The guest speaker's story inspires us to work hard and not to miss the chance of learning new things and meeting new people." — KWAN Man-sze

"Learning about table etiquette and the use of various western dining utensils in such a relaxed atmosphere is a valuable experience of a lifetime. Now I know that there are proper manners to observe even when we are about to leave the dining table! The story shared by the World Wushu Champion gives us delightful insight into ways to become a great athlete." — CHEUNG Ka-ning

"Through the activity, I learn the importance of mutual respect. People should pay respect to each other. The essence of etiquette is thinking of others and being attentive to the people around us." — NG Hoi-fung
