Inclusive Campus, Equal Opportunities:
Join us in fostering diversity and promoting equality at HKU

23/09/2026

For over a decade, the EOSA programme has brought together students who are passionate about promoting a barrier-free and inclusive campus. This year, we warmly welcomed a new cohort of Equal Opportunity Student Ambassadors through the 𝗘𝗢𝗦𝗔 𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, held on Saturday, 19 September 2026. We are grateful for the enthusiasm shown by students committed to promoting equal opportunity at HKU. 💙

In the morning, EOSAs attended talks on the prevention of discrimination and harassment, support for students with SEN, and diversity at HKU. We sincerely thank the Equal Opportunities Commission (平．常．事 EO Matters) and Cedars - Mind and Wellbeing (Mind and Wellbeing, CEDARS) for joining us again this year and sharing their insights with our ambassadors.

The afternoon was dedicated to interaction and idea development. New and senior EOSAs formed teams to discuss and present event ideas for the year ahead. We were inspired by the wide range of topics raised and hope to see more initiatives covering different aspects of equal opportunity throughout the year.🌟🤩

With the energy and passion of our EOSAs, we look forward to another fruitful year of bringing meaningful events and initiatives to the HKU community!🎉

Deaf culture is a human right, and deaf people are part of vibrant linguistic and cultural communities.

The 2026 International Day of Sign Languages and the International Day of Sign Languages share a powerful theme: “Declaring Deaf People’s Human Rights”. Declaring deaf people’s human rights is a call to action: to make these right effective in all areas of life of all deaf people worldwide. It requires recognition, commitment and concrete implementation.

Through the EOSA Programme, students are empowered to learn about equal opportunity issues, including the four anti-discrimination ordinances in Hong Kong (S*x Discrimination, Disability Discrimination, Family Status Discrimination, and Race Discrimination).

The EOSA Programme also offers useful resources and training to help students bring inclusive event ideas to life for the HKU community. Recent EOSA-initiated projects cover topics ranging from gender equality and mental wellness to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). ✨🌈

It will be a truly engaging experience for student ambassadors who are eager to learn beyond the classroom throughout the academic year and help promote the message of equal opportunity for all. 💡🤝
