In times of the pandemic, 1095 Literature & History Studio provides multilingual & real-time information to help migrant workers in Taiwan understand the latest epidemic prevention measures and their own rights. The information was quickly compiled, translated by the studio and then disseminated efficiently to migrant workers.
At the same time, talks and podcasts enable the new second generation and migrant workers to make their voices heard. Not only benefits the new residents and migrant workers themselves, but it also provides an opportunity to the public in Taiwan to better understand Southeast Asian cultures and the minorities living here.
1095 Literature & History Studio serves as a haven for migrant workers with gentle but unwavering supports. Now, let’s listen to《EP17|1095 How does it feel like in these 1095 days? Have a chit-chat with the 1095 Literature & History Studio founders Ms. Guan Anni》
