| On 17 January 2019, MCM College hosted another European Union Lecture Series on France and invited Ms. Diane-Sophie Trevoux, Education and Linguistic Attaché from Consulate General of France in Hong Kong and Macau as the guest speaker. With a warm welcome from MCMC College Master Professor Kevin Thompson, Ms. Trevoux shared with the audience the other sides of France through its tradition. She introduced to the audience the French leaders, tradition food and drinks etc. What surprised the audience is the fact that French people consume almost 25 kg of cheese per capita per year, making them the second largest cheese consuming country in Europe. Another surprising fact is that the most visited place in France is not the Louvre museum but Disneyland, leaving a lot of smiley faces on the audience.
After a fun quiz session, French MIME artist and magician Edi Rudo, who was in the audience, delivered the audience a magic trick that took the audience to another climax.
The next European Union Lecture Series will be held on 26 February 2019, with Professor Mario Wenning from Faculty of Arts and Humanities as the guest speaker on Germany. We welcome all who have a story to share and all who would like to know more about each particular European country.
滿珍紀念書院很榮幸邀請到法國駐香港澳門領事館教育和語言專員Trevoux女士於2019年1月17日擔任是次歐盟系列主題講座 「法式傳統」的演講嘉賓。在滿珍紀念書院院長湯栢燊教授熱烈歡迎下，Trevoux女士向在場人士介紹了法國的領袖人物、傳統節日食品和所出產的美酒佳淆。但最令觀眾感到驚訝的是，原來法國人每年人均消費近25公斤芝士，是歐洲第二大芝士消費國家。而另一個令人啼笑皆非的是，迪士尼樂園取代了羅浮宮，成為法國最多人前往的景點。
在有趣的問答環節後同場加映了法國默劇藝術家和魔術師Edi Rudo帶來的魔術表演，帶觀眾進入了另一個高潮。
下一次的歐盟講座系列將於2019年2月26日舉行，屆時將由人文學院的Mario Wenning教授擔任演講嘉賓，歡迎所有對德國有興趣的人士參與。 |
