Celebrando le lingue Europee a Hong Kong: evento congiunto della Dante Alighieri con
il Goethe-Institut Hongkong
deliziosi vini sponsorizzati rispettivamente dal Ristorante Messina, Sino Vantage Asia e Capestone wines e anche dalla buonissima birra italiana Peroni! Dopo il buffet si e’ passati alle estrazioni e i partecipanti hanno potuto portare a casa dei bellissimi premi, come CD di musica italiana e tedesca, guide turistiche dell’Italia e della Germania e anche due corsi gratuiti di lingua italiana e tedesca presso le rispettive istituzioni. Siamo grati ai nostri colleghi tedeschi per la bellissima “avventura” insieme, ma anche ai nostri generosissimi sponsor, Pizzeria Jacomax, Il Ristorante Messina, Sino
Vantage Asia, Capestone wines e Birra Peroni per aver reso l’evento ancora piu’ speciale!
I l 26 settembre si celebra la giornata delle Lingue Europee nel mondo. In occasione di questa
data speciale, il Comitato della Dante Alighieri di Hong Kong Ltd. e il Goethe Institut Hongkong hanno organizzato Sabato 28 settembre presso la sede del Goethe, un evento congiunto che ha portato ad un bellissimo pomeriggio insieme all’insegna della cultura, delle lingue europee, ma anche del buon cibo, vino e birra italiana! In previsione dell’evento, le due Istituzioni avevano preparato nei mesi precedenti, un piccolo questionario con delle semplici domande per portare “fisicamente” gli studenti a visitare gli uffici di entrambe le istituzioni per rispondere correttamente alle domande. Poi il giorno
della festa i partecipanti al questionario sarebbero stati sorteggiati per vincere dei premi messi a disposizione dalla Dante e dal Goethe. Cosi’, il giorno dell’evento gli studenti di italiano e tedesco si sono incontrati presso la sede del Goethe alle 18:00. Dopo i classici discorsi di benvenuto, gli studenti di tedesco hanno partecipato ad una lezione dimostrativa di italiano, e gli studenti di italiano hanno invece partecipato ad una lezione di tedesco. Dopo, si e’ passati allo splendido buffet di pizza offerto dalla pizzeria Jacomax accompagnato da squisiti salami e formaggi offerti dal Goethe Institut. Il tutto accompagnato da
“Una Serata Italiana con...” a settembre Gianni Criveller
S plendida serata italiana in compagnia del nostro graditissimo ospite, Padre Gianni Criveller dal titolo “Un Missionario Italiano a Hong Kong”. Durante l’incontro Padre Criveller ha ripercorso le fasi cruciali che hanno caratterizzato la presenza dei missionari italiani a Hong Kong e Macao che aveva precedentemente raccontato in un prezioso
volume “Da Milano a Hong Kong, 150 anni...”, che ha anche voluto omaggiare ad ogni partecipante intervenuto. Parlando della sua esperienza personale, che lo ha portato anche a Taiwan e in Cina, ha raccontato come il ruolo dei nostri missionari sia stato fondamentale in Asia e in particolar modo a Hong Kong e Macao sotto molti punti di vista. Tale contributo e’ stato reso concreto dai Missionari
del PIME (Pontificio Istituto Missioni Estere) e dall’opera svolta dalle suore Canossiane. L’incontro ha suscitato molta partecipazione da parte del pubblico, che ha interagito attivamente con Padre Criveller ponendo numerosi quesiti riguardo ad esempio il ruolo della religione in Cina e in che veste la Chiesa Cattolica e’ presente nella societa’ cinese odierna.

Philip Eisenbeiss – a long time Hong Kong resident with great passion for Italian Opera – is going to present his lat-est book, a biographical narrative of the life and times of Domenico Barbaja, a great Opera impresario, born into a humble family in a poor village near Milano. With the strength of his intelligence and hard work, he became one of the greatest Opera entrepreneurs of all times. After the presentation, delicious Franciacorta bubbly wines will be offered by JusVita.
