Project: Build a Migrant Business School in Taiwan

TITLE OR SUBJECT OF REPORTOne-Forty Project Report 2023 vol.02

PROJECT REPORT

One-Forty is a non-profit startup committed to SEA migrant worker issue. Our mission is “Make every migrant journey worth and inspiring”. We also believe every person deserves to dream, and every story deserves listeners. To accomplish our mission, we are devoted to empower them with required skills and trainings, so they can regain self-awareness and self-confident with clear visions and better lives. In the process, we also aspire to improve structural economic issues.

Voice of Migrant

To present migrant workers’ stories to the Taiwanese public, our continued effort at One-Forty includes cultural exchanges, annual exhibition projects, as well as article and video series. We believe it takes long-term social action to reduce prejudice and stereotypes through empathy and understanding, and to spread hospitality and positivity.

This year, our topic is “My Hero's Journey in Taiwan.” We want to inspire migrants to record the journey in Taiwan. They may feel frustrated because of the language relationship along the way, or sometimes feel sad because of homesickness, but they can always overcome difficulties step by step and let ourselves be challenged. Growing up slowly, we are actually confident and brave "heroes" in this journey!

Also, we expand the nationality of applicants this year! From 2 nationalities ( Indonesia and Philippines) to 4 nationalities, which we added Thailand and Vietnam. We hope to inspire more migrants in Taiwan and look forward to their beautiful works.
