Umbrella Repair Workshop 

Isn't it a pity to throw away your umbrella just because of minor damages after use under strong wind and heavy rain? You might have some umbrellas that can be reused if they are repaired. Why not learn the skills and repair them yourself?

 We are pleased that the Green Team has invited Mr. Joseph Kam, Founder and Chief Instructor of "Umbrella Reborn", to lead a workshop for us. He is very experienced and has organized 60+ workshops and trained over 2,000+ people to repair umbrellas. In different media interviews, he also shared about giving a second life to umbrellas. Last year, 41 students and staff have already participated in the workshop on campus.

Umbrella Repair Workshop

Date: 24 September 2022 (Saturday)

Time (total 5 hours):

9am – 12nn                     Elementary level: basic theories and simple umbrella repair techniques

12:45pm - 2:45pm          Advanced level: practical skills and training for repairing umbrellas

Venue: Room 4582, lifts 29-30

Fee: $100 fee to confirm participation; $50 will be refunded upon successful completion of the workshop and successful repair of one umbrella after the Workshop (within 3 months after the Workshop). The participants need to take a photo of the broken umbrella and show the repaired umbrella to get the refund. If a registered participant cannot attend the workshop, the fee will not be refunded, but the participant may find a replacement and need to notify us.

If you are interested in the workshop but you cannot make it this time, please also register and let us know by completing the form. Depending on the responses, we may organize a second workshop in November 2022.

Language: Cantonese (English translation will be provided when necessary)

Register: please fill out the form by 9 September by clicking here

Quota: max. 45 (participants must attend both sessions; staff and students will be given priority, campus residents, family members of staff and students, and people working on campus are also welcome to join. If number of registrations exceeds the quota, the seats will be allocated by lucky draw.)

All registrants will be notified of the result of registration. 

Come with bare hands (you do not need to bring your umbrella to attend the workshop and tools will be available for you)
