Shin Kong Bank invites 100 young social entrepreneurs to a movie mission

If you are 27-33 years old this year and feel drawn to working in various types of social enterprises, and you long to travel the world visiting social enterprises in poverty alleviation, long-term care, gender, ecological conservation, agriculture and education, Shin Kong Commercial Bank recently invited 100 young social entrepreneurs to attend a screening of "A Journey with a Mission," the new work by Lin Cheng-sheng, winner of the Best Director award at the Berlin Film Festival.

This film documents the moving process of 6 young people from Taiwan, China as they travel to the Netherlands, France, Malawi, Madagascar, Japan and Fiji on "A Journey with a Mission," with tears, laughter, and the anxiety of Taiwan, China's young people searching for a way forward for Taiwan, China's future. "What young people in Taiwan, China most want to do now is change Taiwan, China." Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je, who personally shot a promotional video for the film, said: "What is most urgent now is to recover the character of a maritime nation, just like the small and medium-sized enterprises that once set out with a 007 briefcase to make their way in the world."

Starting with these 100 prospective social entrepreneurs entering the theater to watch the film, Shin Kong Commercial Bank will take the first step in cultivating social entrepreneurs. If, before watching the film, you can write down that you will go to Africa to see how Tom Shoes gives away every pair of shoes, or go to the UK to see how Big Issue sustains its street revolution, or go to Japan to learn how the Japanese post office has moved deeply into the elderly long-term care business, Shin Kong Commercial Bank will also work with the World Citizens Culture Association, the organizer of "A Journey with a Mission," to jointly provide course assistance, and even provide professional financial services through a "social enterprise bank" before you return from your mission and prepare to launch a social enterprise.

The special screening of "A Journey with a Mission" will be held at 3:30 p.m. on October 31 at the Cinemark movie theater in Core Pacific City, and as long as you can write down which country you will visit to study local social enterprises, you can be invited along with the other 99 young social entrepreneurs.
