Soborna Ukraine Foundation Teenagers Take Part in an Etiquette Workshop

April 28, 2026Сommunity

Teenagers supported by the Soborna Ukraine Foundation took part in a practical workshop on modern etiquette led by Oleksandr Kotolup, founder and creative force behind Figaro Catering.

During the session, participants learned the fundamentals of dining etiquette, practiced using cutlery correctly, explored proper table manners, and gained confidence in navigating new social situations. The workshop was entirely hands-on, allowing participants to put their new knowledge into practice right away.

At the Soborna Ukraine Foundation, we believe that recovery is built through many small steps. Sometimes, one of those steps is learning a new skill.

For teenagers, workshops like this are about much more than etiquette. They are an opportunity to build self-confidence, feel more confident in unfamiliar settings, and feel more comfortable at formal events and future workplaces.

We sincerely thank Oleksandr Kotolup and the Figaro Catering team for leading this workshop, for their openness, and for sharing their knowledge and expertise with our teenagers. It is through opportunities like these that young people discover new paths for personal growth and feel more confident about their future.
