Diversity & Inclusion Week: Voices Beyond Silence - Adia's Journey as a Child of Deaf Adults (CODA) (3 March 2026)

In this engaging session, we are delighted to welcome Ms. Leung Pui Yan Adia (梁佩欣), the author of Hong Kong's first picture book by a Child of Deaf Adults (CODA), titled 沉默的溫度. Growing in a deaf family, Pui Yan will share the joys and challenges faced by CODAs and the importance of Hong Kong sign language in bridging diverse worlds. Now working as a part-time social worker, she keenly applies her knowledge of sign language to help others and more. She also served as a sign language interpreter at the recent Olympics and Deaflympics. Join us for a dialogue with her and gain deeper insights into the deaf culture in Hong Kong and the career of a sign language interpreter.

This sharing session is organised by the Equal Opportunity Unit, and registration will be open on a first-come, first-served basis. All students and staff are welcome.
