YMCA Joint University Deaf-Hearing Inclusion Activity-Visible Voices

Have you ever tried communicating with others in ways other than using your voice? Have you ever thought about how many deaf people in Hong Kong face communication challenges in their daily lives? By learning sign language and engaging in direct interaction, we can better understand the needs of our deaf friends and promote genuine inclusion and equal communication. 

​

Therefore, the University & College YMCA Department of Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong has specially organized the following two activities. We warmly invite all members to participate, step into the "world of silence” together, learn sign language, go camping with deaf friends and build friendships.
