Moon Chun Memorial College, University of Macau and Macau Deaf Association jointly organised an experiential workshop at the Service Centre for Deaf on the 24^th January, 2024. Through interactive explanations, silent experiences, and simulated scenes, participants raised awareness about the deaf and hearing-impaired. Staff first introduced the Macau Deaf Association to participants about four major services: 1) social work services, 2) sign language interpretation services, 3) selective placement services, and 4) lifelong education.

Afterward a silent experience session, participants experienced the communication difficulties faced by the deaf and hearing-impaired. They also learned how various types of hearing-impaired assistive devices can be used. During the workshop, participants learned some simple sign language and staff called on participants to join hands in building a society that is inclusive of hearing and hearing-impaired.
