Lunch & Learn: Low Literacy – A Foundational Issue in our Society

Join us in our series of free lunchtime talks about social issues and learn about diverse ways to help create a community in which all people are full and valued participants!

When: Thursday, April 14, 2022, @ noon!

Speaker: Kim Chung (Co-ED)

Summary: Did you know that 45% of adult Albertans struggle with literacy? What does that mean? Who does it include? How does it affect your work? Join Centre for Family Literacy for an interactive session that will add narrative to the statistic and provide some strategies to identify and support people who have low literacy skills.
