SOCIAL PARTNERSHIPS

Dignity grows through connection.

We envision a creative ecosystem where literature creates work, and that work makes new literature possible. The following are directions for future development and partnership.

An inclusive publishing ecosystem

Explore creative opportunities for young artists and artists with disabilities, connecting writers, publishers and animation producers.

Literature in the community

Explore literature and creative writing programmes with welfare facilities, hospitals and schools, alongside corporate social responsibility partnerships.

Inclusive employment — in planning

We plan to pursue a disability-inclusive standard workplace in animation production and explore partnerships with public institutions. Establishment and certification are not presented as completed achievements.
