Connecting the Visually Impaired with the Community

Our Information Accessibility Centre (IAC) recently hosted a variety of activities to bring our visually impaired members into the heart of the city. These experiences allow them to connect with the community and explore the many different sides of Hong Kong:

Civil Aviation Department “Aviation Education Path” Guided Tour

 
On 27 January 2026, IAC led members to the Civil Aviation Department headquarters on Lantau Island for a visit to the Aviation Education Path, embarking on an exciting journey of aviation exploration. Members gained insights into air traffic control operations and viewed various aircraft models, making the visit truly eye-opening for all. Coinciding with the 80th anniversary of the Civil Aviation Department, our members were thrilled to participate in this meaningful event together.

Cultural Talk: My Journey in Voice Acting

 
Voice acting is an art. Through their voices, voice actors express emotions including joy, anger and sorrow, giving characters their souls behind the scenes. IAC was honoured to invite veteran voice actor Ms. Sharon Leung to share her experiences on 18 March 2026. Voice actors bring joy to audiences through sound, and members with visual impairments are especially sensitive to voices. Many were able to fondly recall the classic characters brought to life by Sharon, including Shizuka in Doraemon, Sailor Mercury in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, My Melody in The Adventures of Hello Kitty & Friends. Whether attending in person or online, members listened attentively and enthusiastically engaged in sharing session with Sharon, making the exchange both lively and rewarding.
