Innovation in practices-stories and cases: Four Way Voice.

This case reports how a social innovation satisfies the social needs of about half million migrants in Taiwan and created a Vietnamese language newspaper in 2006. Up to 2011, four more languages were added, Thai, Cambodian, Indonesian and Tagalog (local Philippine language). The newspaper invites the migrants to contribute articles and paintings. By sharing their secrets in mind and showing their skills, immigrants and foreign labors calm their uneasy feeling, knowing that they are not alone thus regaining their confidence in a foreign land. Now, the Four Way Voice is issued on the first day of every month and can be purchased from around 500 convenient stores in Taiwan. Regular Vietnamese radio broadcast and "Sing Four Way" TV program were also launched. With these publications, local Taiwanese become more receptive to the migrants. This case provides a reference for how to handle the recent large scale refugee migration to Europe. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
