Ever imagined the earphones as the key to your undiscovered potential?

By enhancing mutual understanding between the hearing and the Deaf, it exposes participants to an incredible new way of communication through showcasing the Deaf's ability while challenging the rest of the society to re-define 'disability', in the hope of creating a socially inclusive community.

Facilitated by professional Deaf trainers, participants will learn how to listen with their eyes, express their ideas with body and experience life with their hearts, all to enhance their communication skills. Many inspiring and interesting tasks are held in Dialogue in Silence to bring out the wit in you and exercise your four senses.

Outdoor activity

 

Typically a labyrinth is a single circuitous path that winds its way into the center and out again. It has been used by man for 4,000 years to quiet the mind while taking a short walk. The ancient pattern is found in North and South America, India, Indonesia and throughout Europe. It remains a mystery who built them originally and why, all we do know is that those who walk the labyrinth feel more connected, peaceful and calm afterwards. Temporary or permanent labyrinths are now being installed in shopping centers, schools, universities, hospitals and other health care settings, public parks and gardens. Come and join us for a walk in tranquility to reflect upon your MaD experience and learnings.
