D&I Ambassador Programme

The workshop brilliantly emphasized that effective D&I initiatives must move beyond one-off trainings. True impact comes from designing activities that are integrated, ongoing, and directly tied to actionable goals, ensuring they foster genuine belonging and not just attendance.

After this workshop, I learned more about the characteristics of each type of SEN, how they feel, and ways to assist them and make them feel comfortable when interacting with them. The guest’s sharing also gave me a closer look at the difficulties that SEN students face during their university life. The guest’s experience was inspiring and made me start to pay more attention to whether universities have sufficient policies to assist them.

Above all, the concept of langar deeply resonated with me-the practice of serving a communal meal where everyone sits together as equals, regardless of status or background. It creates a profound sense of unity that is rare in daily life. I hope others may also have the opportunity to experience Sikhism in such a personal and impactful way.

Prior to this workshop, I had no prior exposure to audio description and was unfamiliar with its nature and purpose. My initial encounter with audio description proved to be profoundly meaningful. The session began with a concise introduction to the AuDeAHK association and the concept of audio description, offering a general overview.

The most striking aspect of the workshop was the interactive component, which provided a tactile experience through the use of haptic tools, simulating the perspective of an individual with visual impairment.

Subsequently, participants alternated roles between audio describers and visually impaired individuals. The latter were tasked with listening to verbal instructions and attempting to paint the described object. This exercise was both engaging and challenging.
