08.02: DINING BEYOND BORDERS: AN INTERCULTURAL - ART OF THE TABLE - WORKSHOP

Gathered around the table, we often find ourselves in a moment of sheer happiness. The dining table transcends its functional role as a mere platform for food; it becomes a space where ideas are shared, laughter resounds, love blossoms, and business deals unfold. Whether
it's a special occasion or an impromptu gathering, a dinner is not just a quick bite to curb hunger; it's a true art, a communal experience with cherished companions. In our workshop, we will delve into the rich tapestry of diverse cultural norms, traditions, and etiquettes associated with dining and table arrangements across different societies.
