Welcome to MICO
The Multilingual Information Co-Op (MICO) was designed by STARTTS and Red Cross at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic as a platform for sharing important, time-sensitive, locally-relevant, in-language information. MICO achieves this through in-language videos that are posted on various social media platforms. STARTTS collaborates with various emergency/safety and health services to create scripts about health-related and safety-related information. MICO volunteers then volunteer to translate these scripts into their mother-tongues and record themselves reading the scripts.
