The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong (HSUHK) organised a “Sign Language × Balloon Twisting Workshop” in collaboration with a social enterprise. Through interactive engagement, the workshop aimed to promote campus diversity and inclusion while enhancing participants’ understanding and respect for the hearing-impaired culture.

Participants were guided by a hearing-impaired instructor who taught essential everyday sign language expressions while assisting them in crafting various balloon designs, under the leadership of a hearing balloon artist. Through this fusion of nonverbal communication and artistic expression, attendees gained deeper insights into hearing-impaired culture, and the experience of “speaking with hands” to bridge differences and build connections.

HSUHK has always been dedicated to promoting social inclusion, upholding its commitment to nurturing students’ humanistic care and social responsibility. The University will continue collaborating with various organisations to foster a campus community that embraces differences with respect and inclusivity, building a harmonious learning environment together.
