Young writers working together around a table

English & media literacy, reimagined

Writing a more
thoughtful world.

We help young people in Hong Kong and the United States find their voice, think critically, and create stories worth sharing.

01 / What we do

Small beginnings.
Lasting impact.

Since 2021, we've served children in Grades 1–6 in Hong Kong and Grades 6–8 in the United States, growing their creativity and critical thinking through hands-on writing projects — culminating in the LAB Book anthology and our news blog, the co|LAB Collective.

0 national mandates on media literacy education for K-12 students in the US.

Critical reading is not optional. It is a skill we can nurture, one young writer at a time.

03 / What comes next

The next chapter
