The theme for International Literacy Day 2024, designated by UNESCO, celebrates “Promoting multilingual education: Literacy for mutual understanding and peace” / « Promouvoir l’éducation multilingue : l’alphabétisation pour la compréhension mutuelle et la paix ». This theme focuses on “…empowering people by adopting a first language-based, multilingual approach to literacy development and education… for its cognitive, pedagogical, and socio-economic benefits… [to] promote mutual understanding and respect, while solidifying communal identities and collective histories.”

Look for events in your area, and join in the UNESCO international event (find out more, or register).

Literacy and accessible digital literacy are very important; they allow us to participate fully in our society. We work with organizations around the province, and across the country to ensure that Saskatchewan residents have access to literacy programs and resources.
