AFCC Co-translation Project

To cap off the collaboration, AFCC will be translating and co-publishing selected children’s books from both Thailand and Singapore to make them available to the children in each country as part of a Co-Translation Project, in partnership with PUBAT.

This project will involve the translation and publication of selected children’s books from both Thailand and Singapore, which will be made available to the children in each country. Two children’s book titles from each country will be selected and translated from Thai into English, and vice versa. The Project will be launched at AFCC, while the launch of the publications will be later in the year.

Copies of the books will be made available free to children in both countries in through their local reading initiatives. The project is exploring both printed and digital forms of the translated books to widen its reach.

Through this Co-Translation Project, children and parents from both countries will be exposed to the stories and characters in the books, thus gaining better cross-cultural understanding of our respective cultures.

This project is made possible with support from The Head Foundation.
