Look Like Me Book Challenge C.I.C.聽 is a non-profit organisation that aids young people between the ages of seven and 18 across the UK with their literacy, creative writing, storytelling, peer-to-peer mentoring and social skills, as well as teaching them about the role diversity plays in the publishing industry.聽

As part of the collaboration, Emc易倍体育 is donating advertising space across their digital screens nationwide to help raise awareness of the C.I.C.鈥檚 mission and amplify diverse children鈥檚 literature. This will see a series of Out of Home campaigns displayed throughout 2024, that align with key calendar moments such as World Book Day, Children鈥檚 Book Week and Black History Month.

The initiative aims to bring attention to the lack of diverse main characters in children's literature, challenging the current statistics that reveal only 10% of children's books feature characters from diverse backgrounds, despite 34.5% of UK schoolchildren coming from multicultural backgrounds.*聽

Highlighting its commitment as a Platform for Good, Emc易倍体育 stands with the Look Like Me Book Challenge C.I.C. on this journey to reshape children's literature, making it more inclusive for generations to come.

Further championing the initiative, members of Emc易倍体育鈥檚 Working Parents Crew and Culture Crew will be hosting readings for children at their head office in London as well as online.

Liz Quach, Senior Research & Insight Manager and Co-Captain of Culture Crew (ERG), states, 鈥淎t Emc易倍体育, we've been actively promoting diversity and inclusion. Our Culture Crew is thrilled to spearhead this partnership, recognising the need for diverse representation in children鈥檚 literature. Leveraging our medium as a Platform for Good, we aim to support this important cause.鈥澛�
