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.
One-Forty School Online Platform
One-Forty’s audiovisual production team is responsible for planning, script writing, shooting and editing of the educational short videos. From situations where the workers have just arrived in Taiwan to learning basic Chinese language skills, these videos cover topics as variegated as body parts, care-giving methods, basic safety guidelines for factory workers, as well as experienced migrant workers who are invited to share their work experience. At the same time, the videos also address real-life scenarios for migrant worker’s days off, such as going to a doctor’s appointment, taking a bus, making purchases and more. These videos are complemented by lively and interesting animations to meet the needs of young migrant workers who are more audio-visual learners. They can also share the videos on their own social platforms.
Our Impact
Digital learning has reshaped how people learn and it has solved the problem of irregular days off for migrant caregivers, who can use their spare time to quickly absorb practical sentences in the videos and use them in real life, greatly reducing the language barrier upon their first arrival in Taiwan.
Recently, One-Forty cooperated with Taiwan Fu Hsing, a well-established manufacturing company in Taiwan, to launch a series of customized physical and online training courses for 300 Filipino workers at their plants. The contents cover Chinese language, work adjustment, personal savings and financial management, team communication and cooperation to effectively improve the performance of Filipino migrant workers on the job, while reducing the communication barriers and frictions between foreign and Taiwanese colleagues.
