Breaking Bread

Breaking Bread: From holiday feasts to backyard BBQs, this course is designed to help guide young people on how to graciously navigate various dining situations with confidence. With less emphasis on outdated rules and more emphasis on mealtimes as a means to build community, Breaking Bread aims to curb impulsiveness while encouraging willpower and self-restraint, key skills known to impact the success of one’s life.

Dining etiquette is an extension of respect for ourselves and others. Good dining etiquette brings friends and families closer together thereby building community and valuable social capital. Table manners (polite behaviors) and dining etiquette (cultural rules) including formal and informal table settings, utensil usage, food handling, and gracious guest guidelines will be covered. At the end of the workshop, students will have the opportunity to “break bread” together and practice their new skills.
