In September 2021, commemorating the announcement of the winner of the first edition of the Bucheon Diaspora Literary Award (BUDILIA), Bucheon (Republic of Korea) launched: We are All Diaspora. In an era of mass global migration, this online campaign, in collaboration with the Bucheon Hope Foundation, aims to raise awareness of Diaspora literature and the important role it plays in social inclusion and cohesion.
This year, once the campaign has reached 100 posts (on social media platforms), 100 books, including the BUDILIA award-winning book, will be donated for children in Myanmar, funded partially by the Bucheon Hope Foundation.
Bucheon invites its fellow 38 UNESCO Cities of Literature to join the campaign, and intends to extend it further to artists, cultural actors, and creative minds who are active on various social media channels.
To join the campaign, you may add a book to recommend to children or an uplifting note with the campaign image and Hashtags to your post.
