DIDF 15 Years Anniversary Gala Dinner
Back in 2009, Dialogue in the Dark launched in Hong Kong, followed by the opening of Dialogue in the Dark Exhibition opened on 20 February 2010. This year, we are celebrating the 15 years anniversary of DIDF at our Gala Dinner 2025. We would like invite you to join us in commemorating this significant milestone in our inclusive journey and to reflect on our achievements and contributions together.
For the past 15 years, DIDF has been dedicated to promoting social inclusion through immersive experiences in Dark and Silence. We firmly believe that People of Differences (PoDs)* possess unique abilities and talents. Throughout our journey, DIDF has upheld its mission of “Engaging People of Differences to create social impact” and provided experiential learning programs to over 700,000 participants across various sectors, including the public, corporate, and educational segments since 2009.
* ‘People of Differences (PoDs)’ refers to individuals with disabilities, such as those who are visually impaired, hearing impaired, or physically disabled. Each of them possesses unique abilities and talents. We provide a platform for them to showcase these abilities and talents.
