Dying Matters Awareness Event

The Dying Matters Awareness Event was a series of large-scale educational activities and promotional campaigns aiming to engage the general public in active and open discussions about end-of-life issues. There were various components in the event, including, in particular, a territory-wide drawing competition, a mini concert, and the filming of a micro-movie. The main theme was “Live Free, Die Well”, the implied meaning of which was to hope that everyone could initiate end-of-life planning as early as possible and thereby be able to live without pain and worries.
