This workshop was led by an experienced deaf instructor and a hearing instructor from SLCO Community Resources Limited, a local charitable institution dedicated to promoting sign bilingualism in communication, education, and social inclusion, while fostering a diverse community free from communication barriers.

Throughout the event, participants learned daily phrases in Hong Kong Sign Language (HKSL), which helped them gain a better understanding of deaf culture. They left with valuable skills, a deeper appreciation for the deaf community, and an enhanced sense of social inclusion.
