2023年聾人子女國際會議，於韓國主辧，香港時間由6月29日至7月2日連續四日，完滿結束。
這是首次由亞洲地區代表-韓國，主辦今次聾人子女國際會議。全程會議不只是美語，還有韓言主領進行。不只是歐美人士參與，還有香港、韓國、日本、菲律賓、印度、馬來西亞等亞洲地區，尊定重要的發展里程碑，而CODA Hong Kong 亦得到國際肯定獲頒服務貢獻榮譽。
今次四位香港代表CODA 遠赴隨行，與來自全球22個國家的151位CODA互相交流認識。大部分都是活躍於貢獻聾人社群，出色專業的心理輔導、研究學者、手語翻譯、創辦推動的熱愛自己身份CODA。深受體會作為同路人的一份同行力量和共鳴震撼，大大提升自我身份的價值和認同、CODA文化和知識、平衡兩個不同的語言和心理，從而能夠擁抱接納自己，以及貢獻社群的價值和角色。
最後衷心感謝大會安排，以及世界國地CODAs的善心支持CODAHK舉辦十周年會慶暨聾人子女日，慈善義賣籌得款項扣除成本後共約HKD 3,395 (USD435)，真正發揮同路人互助精神。
2024年國際會議美國聖地亞哥見！
The International Conference for Children of Deaf Adults (CODA) in 2023, hosted by South Korea, was successfully held from June 29th to July 2nd (Hong Kong time) for four consecutive days.
This is the first time that an Asian country, South Korea, has hosted the international CODA conference. Throughout the conference, not only American Sign Language but also Korean Sign Language was used as the primary means of communication. Participants not only came from Europe and America, but also from Asian countries such as Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan, the Philippines, India, and Malaysia, recognizing the importance of this milestone in development. CODA Hong Kong also received international recognition and was awarded for their service contributions.
Four Hong Kong representatives from CODA participated in the conference and had the chance to interact and connect with 151 CODAs from 22 countries around the world. Most of them are active in contributing to the deaf community, including professionals in counseling, research, sign language interpretation, and passionate advocates for their CODA identity. They deeply appreciated the solidarity and resonance of being with fellow CODAs, which greatly enhanced their sense of identity, cultural and linguistic knowledge, and balanced their psychological well-being, enabling them to embrace and accept themselves as well as contribute to the community.
Finally, heartfelt thanks were extended to the organizers of the conference and the kind support of CODAs from around the world for helping to celebrate CODAHK's 10th anniversary and Deaf Children's Day with a charity sale that raised approximately HKD 3,395 (USD 435) after deducting costs, truly demonstrating the spirit of mutual assistance among fellow travelers.
See you in San Diego for the international conference in 2024!
