Country of Focus Night

Celebrate the rich history and evolving literary landscapes of Thailand in this special evening event that culminates AFCC. In honour of the AFCC 2021 Country of Focus, join us for a showcase of the literary and cultural heritage in this gala event that celebrates the growing collaborations and strengthened ties between Singapore and Thailand.

As part of the growing collaboration and strengthened ties between Singapore and Thailand, we will also be launching the Co-Translation Project. In partnership with our Country Partner PUBAT, we 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.
