EUROPEAN DINING AND SOCIAL ETIQUETTE

Etiquette is an artform. Far more than a set of rules, it’s an expression of social values, an articulation of aesthetics and a language. A mastery of etiquette builds confidence, charisma and persuasion. Learn the art of making an elegant impression.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Do you want to better understand the codes of dining etiquette? Would you like to feel more comfortable and confident during corporate and social gatherings? This course will give you the skills to interact as a brilliant guest or host, allowing your personality and positive qualities to shine through at any occasion.

This course will be conducted as a private dinner event. Savour several courses and experience a true-to-life formal dining session as we cover the principles, attitude and know-how that will empower you to make a fantastic impression. 

How we behave as we dine or celebrate reveals a lot about ourselves and highly affects how others perceive us. The goal of dining etiquette is to put those around you at ease and make them feel comfortable. Understanding the details of etiquette also allows you to focus on the more valuable aspects of a gathering. For example, you are far more likely to hold better conversations if you’re not trying to figure out which fork is required or which glass belongs to you. 

Finish the course with the confidence and surety to navigate formal gatherings and to forge stronger personal and professional connections at exclusive events or formal private celebrations.
