FAA: origins, values and actions
Founded in 2003, the French Alumni Association (FAA) maintains and fosters the bonds and friendship among permanent residents in Hong Kong and Macau who studied in France and individuals who show keen interest in French culture.
Since its establishment, FAA has organised a variety of social, cultural, educational and scientific activities among its members and with the public.
Thanks to a group of dynamic committee members who have made countless efforts, the connections among alumni continue to strengthen.
FAA members come from different universities, in France and locally, with various talents. Since its foundation, FAA has been connecting people and resources to create value for its members, while promoting and catering their welfare and interests.
