The
Sigma Mu Zeta Chapter of Stone Mountain, partnered with a local youth group,
Abundance of Favors of the New Love Tabernacle Church in Lithonia, to host an
interactive workshop entitled “Etiquette and Empowerment: Engaging the Youth of
Today” on Saturday, December 3, 2016. The
participants, ages 13 to 17 were lead in a “Teen Talk” discussion segment where
they openly shared thoughts on bullying, the CODE (snitching) and being a
bystander to bullying. Texting, social media and internet do’s and don’ts where
also part of their discussions.
Participants
then moved on to a second segment, which was an etiquette class. Participants learned
three (3) different place settings and when to use them, table manners that
included cell phone etiquette and the young men learned and practiced seating
etiquette. There was an answer and question period after each segment and a
game with prizes where they had to color in words that were mentioned throughout
the program.
