A one-day moderator training course was held in Hong Kong in early September 2016. About 75 people attended the course which was divided into four teams: one English-speaking, one Mandarin-speaking and two Chinese-Cantonese-speaking.
Spanish moderators Josemaria Postigo & Rosa Pich were invited by the Family First Foundation (FFF), the entity which coordinates IFFD courses in China and Hong Kong, to conduct this moderator training which had simultaneous translation, from Spanish to English and from Spanish to Chinese Mandarin, during the seminar presentation. For the case study team discussions, the group was divided into four teams: one English-speaking, one Mandarin-speaking and two Chinese-Cantonese-speaking. It was a new experience for FFF organizers to coordinate team meetings in two dialects and two languages at the same time. It was a happy and productive day, with families and children of different nationalities and cultures taking part, and the participants enjoyed the opportunity to exchange experiences and ideas, as well as learning a lot from the full-day training. As a result of the training, a new course on Marital Love in Hong Kong Island is being organized by some of the participants.
