LNS produced a Literacy Action Week toolkit. We published ebooklets for Adult Learners’ Week 2019 with learning stories written by adults on the theme Literacy Changes Lives. LNS also produces The Learning Beacon, an interactive, online magazine for adult learners.

LITERACY ACTION WEEK (LAW): NOVEMBER 4 - 8, 2019

LAW is a time when individuals and organizations that have an interest in supporting adult literacy share information with governments and the public about literacy and essential skills in their community. For LAW 2019, we asked the public to demonstrate how literacy makes a difference in the lives of real people. During November 4 – 8, 2019, LNS invited everyone to post photos of themselves on social media holding a poster saying why they think supporting literacy is important. Community based learning organizations used the opportunity to raise their profile.
