Adult Literacy and Inequality

Join us for a one-hour webinar on Adult Literacy and Inequality, in collaboration with AONTAS and NALA. This event is part of the Adult Learners’ Festival.

One in five adults in Ireland struggle with reading and writing (Source). This webinar explores literacy as an equality issue. You'll also get practical tips to be more literacy-friendly.

NALA's training is often called 'revelatory', 'inspirational', and 'the best workshop I've ever attended'. 

Join us and discover what you can learn!
