Umbrella Repair Workshop  雨傘維修工作坊

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. In HKUST we have organized two workshops already which trained about 80 staff and students.

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.

All registrants will be notified of the result of registration. 

There will also be an Umbrella Repair Demonstration scheduled for 7 February 2023 (Tuesday) from 12nn to 2pm at Sustainable Smart Campus SSC Hub (opposite of Passion). You are welcome to meet the Instructor there!
