“From Diversity to Infinity” Festival 2024
The Since 2022, the annual festival, named "From Diversity to Infinity" has been dedicated to our unwavering belief that each individual possesses unique values and skills. We advocate for the acknowledgment and support of diverse abilities in all individuals, regardless of their backgrounds or visible/invisible limitations. Through engaging displays, interactive activities, psychoeducational workshops, and immersive tours, this Festival provides members of the HKUST community with a profound journey of self-discovery and introspection.
This year's events aim to delve into and celebrate the full range of emotional and sensory experiences while promoting self-compassion within our community. Come and join us as we welcome diverse abilities and cultivate a campus environment built on empathy, inclusivity and boundless opportunities!
