About Us
In 2024, a group of Hong Kong Sign Language interpreters came together and established this association.
To build a diverse and thriving sign language interpreter community in Hong Kong, while holding ourselves accountable to providing high-quality service.
Our Vision
Connection
We want to provide opportunities for Hong Kong Sign Language interpreters to meet each other. By sharing work experiences and offering friendly support to newcomers, we weave a network where you can find someone who understands who you are and what you do.
Training
Education
Advocacy
We are passionate about sign language interpreting and will organize workshops, short courses, seminars, and online discussions. Our goal is for everyone — both participants and presenters — to learn from one another and broaden our shared body of knowledge.
By engaging in dialogues with other interpreters, we want to understand the challenges we all face and discuss ways to improve our working conditions. Together, we will raise public awareness of the work we do.
Our Goals
Accessibility isn’t just for deaf people; it’s for everyone. We welcome collaboration with all walks of society to promote public education, so more people understand how to use sign language interpreters and various accessibility services.
We care about the growth and transformation of each interpreter's journey. Every assignment is an opportunity to refine our skills, knowledge and heart.
Service
Respect
We value the different social identities and lived experiences within the deaf and interpreter communities.
Core Values
Professionalism
By excelling in our work as interpreters, we improve the communication experience of deaf and hearing people who use our service.
While using the term “deaf,” we acknowledge and respect the variety of identities and experiences within our communities. It’s important to ask each individual which terms they personally prefer.
Our Logo
Our organization's logo is a line drawing representation of the Hong Kong Sign Language term for "interpreting."
