About Alongside Academy

Alongside Academy is a community-based learning space grounded in knowledge, reflection, and dialogue. We are committed to fostering an open and inclusive Hong Kong. We believe that social change does not begin only with policies or systems, but with how each of us re-examines life, death, and the meaning we attach to them.

In Hong Kong, conversations about death and Lifelong Autonomy remain rare. Grief and loss are never easy topics, and for some communities, these experiences are even harder to navigate. Through public education, professional training, community building and independent research, Alongside Academy creates a safe and thoughtful space for dialogue where knowledge, lived experience, and emotional understanding can be exchanged and put into practice. 

We encourage self-directed learning and mutual support, cultivating a community that thinks with empathy and acts with purpose. We believe that everyone deserves the chance to live authentically and to become the better selves through reflection and genuine connections with others.
