On a Sunday afternoon in May, in the space of Kohi Coffee Shop, Loc Vuong Lake Street, more than 10 young people gathered to participate in a very exciting painting workshop. Ms. Minh Hang, Tran Huy Lieu Street shared: "Although this is the first time participating in a painting workshop, I feel extremely excited. Under the guidance of the teacher, I can hold a brush to create a painting as I like, discovering more of my own abilities." As for Ms. Thuy Linh, Ngo Gia Tu Street, this is the third time participating in a workshop here. According to Ms. Linh, being immersed in colorful paintings helps her feel comfortable and relaxed after stressful working days. Not only young people participate, the painting workshop also attracts the participation of many other ages. Although the products are not perfect, they are created by the students themselves, so after the experience, everyone is excited with their achievements. Ms. Pham Ngoc Anh, owner of Kohi Coffee, shared that every month, the shop organizes a workshop model with different topics such as flower arrangement, painting, embossed embroidery, etc. At the workshops, fully equipped with tools, everyone can experience making handmade products with each topic according to each person's own ideas. Workshop participants are not required to be skillful or know much about that field, but under the guidance of the teacher, they can still create their own products. That attracts more young people to participate, because even though they do not have to bring many accessories or materials to the class, they can still fully experience and have finished products to take home. "I always research and build a variety of craft workshops so that people can participate many times without feeling bored or having overlapping content between workshops," Ms. Ngoc Anh shared more. In addition, she also researched and connected with teachers and inspirational people related to handicraft products in other provinces and cities to invite them to share in workshops, thereby evoking emotions in each person, helping participants to be more attracted to the content of the experience sessions.
In addition to being able to relieve stress, the workshops also help people create meaningful gifts for their loved ones such as embroidering, painting statues, making scented candles, phone cases, etc. The products do not have much material value but contain the feelings of the maker. Phuong Linh, a student at Nam Dinh Nursing University, shared: "I participated in the workshop and made a phone case for my best friend on her birthday. Although the product is not perfect, seeing my friend happy and using it every day, I also feel very happy because the gift I made myself is appreciated." In addition, the craft activities also encourage people to freely imagine and express their ideas. During the practice process, participants gain knowledge, practice patience and concentration; and at the same time discover their own strengths. Ms. Hoai Anh, Hai Ba Trung Street shared: "I registered my whole family to participate in a painting workshop so that everyone has time to strengthen family ties and inspire and encourage my children to pursue their passion for painting."

Workshops are also an opportunity for people who are passionate about art, handicrafts or a certain field to share their passion with people who have the same interests, spreading positive things. Having been involved in the fresh flower business for nearly 10 years, the daily work of Ms. Nguyen Hong Nhung, Quang Trung Street (Nam Dinh City) is to create beautiful, unique fresh flower products to serve the needs of customers. Because of her passion for flowers and the desire to inspire people interested in the field of artistic flower arrangement, she decided to open a flower arrangement experience workshop to share her passion, help people understand more about some types of flowers, how to arrange them appropriately, and bring out the beauty of each type of flower... However, organizing the first workshop for a business person like her is not simple. She has to learn the workshop organization model, balance the materials so that everyone can use them fully. Besides, how to make your sharing attract people to listen, your content helps people understand and follow easily. After the first workshop, Ms. Nhung herself also learned a lot of experience when communicating and sharing in front of a crowd. She is bolder, more confident, and knows how to convey content to everyone. Although her business is busy, she still occasionally takes time to organize some flower arrangement workshops with many different topics. As for Ms. Bich Ngoc, the owner of a bakery on Tuc Mac Street, Loc Vuong Ward (Nam Dinh City), she takes advantage of the available ingredients at her store to organize workshops for children to experience baking. The workshops are usually held on weekends with the participation of 5-7 children. With the prepared ingredients, the children can make their own cookies or colorful small cakes. The workshops not only help children learn the basics of making cakes but also provide useful and interesting relaxing moments.
Short-term workshops, fully prepared with materials, are increasingly attracting young people to participate. However, workshops need to be invested in and innovated in form and content to attract more participants, helping to improve everyone's experience. In addition, customers should also research and choose suitable workshops to have a useful, relaxing and memorable time./.
