In response to International Migrants Day, One-Forty partners with FamilyMart to host the “2025 Migrant Workers Cultural Festival” on December 13 at Syntrend Creative Park in Taipei. The large-scale festival invites the public to step into the cultural lives of migrant workers and experience the diverse energy of Southeast Asia.

The organizer stated that Taiwan is an island woven from diverse cultures. Migrant workers from Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Thailand not only support industrial operations but also live and build stories together within Taiwanese society. Through the festival, the organizers hope more people will see everyday migrant worker life and promote mutual understanding and exchange.

The event features a Southeast Asian cultural market, traditional costume fashion shows, cultural handicraft workshops, and live music performances. Second-generation immigrant singers are also invited to perform, showcasing creative outcomes across generations and cultures. Visitors can experience cultural diversity up close through food, clothing, music, and hands-on activities.

In addition, the festival will present the annual highlights of the “FamilyMart Migrant-Friendly Initiative” and screen the Indonesian special edition of the documentary “Let’s Go Home,” using visual storytelling to share migrant workers’ lives and experiences in Taiwan. Co-organized by the Pearl S. Buck Foundation Taiwan and supported by media partners UDN and The Reporter’s Advocate, the event aims to turn diversity and inclusion into part of everyday urban life.
