Movement for Canadian Literacy is now Canadian Literacy and Learning Network (CLLN). Please note changes to the website to reflect our new name among other things, will take place over the next several months.
September 8th is International Literacy Day (ILD). Take a few minutes and help us mark ILD by checking out the following polls.
November 7, 2010
The Adult Learning Network (ALN) is pleased to announce its up-coming Lifelong Learning Forum that will be held on Sunday, November 7, 2010, at the Marriott Hotel in Ottawa. You are invited to participate in plenary sessions to discuss the strategy to implement a Canadian Lifelong Learning Network. The Forum will also host workshops dedicated to the topic of the analysis of a culture of lifelong learning. The goal of the Forum is to provide a venue where Anglophone, Francophone and Aboriginal learning communities will join to share promising practices, discuss new research and be informed of the results of UNESCO’s CONFINTEA VI. The idea of an Adult Learners Charter for Canada, as well as suggestions for activities related to Adult Learner's Week 2011 will be included.
The event will precede the Canadian Association for Prior Learning Assessment (CAPLA) Recognizing Learning conference held November 7-9, 2010 at the same location.
Check the Adult Learning Network (ALN) website for more information. http://www.aln-raa.ca/.
In the late 1990s, in order to support and build on the adult literacy policy and infrastructure development happening across the country, MCL brought the leaders of the provincial and territorial literacy coalitions together to share information, develop knowledge and skills, and work together around shared concerns. Linda brought enormous knowledge and insight to this roundtable of coalition leaders, and was an important mentor for those who were new to the job or whose organizations were new.
To read more about Linda’s contribution to MCL and the field in general, click here.
WESCan (Workforce Essential Skills across Canada) is an Office of Literacy and Essential Skills funded project that has PTP working closely with communities across Canada to build meaningful programming for low-skilled individuals. This project uses the CAMERA System as its foundation, combined with the knowledge gained through years of research and analysis on effective ways to transition low-skilled adults to work. MCL sits on the advisory committee for this project.
Click here to learn more about the project.
In response to the Federal Budget in March of this year, the Industry Minister has launched a digital economy strategy consultation process. Stating that all Canadians have a role to play in shaping our digital future, the Minister extended an invitation to all Canadians to bring forward their ideas and perspectives. To bridge the digital divide, MCL calls for affordable and accessible broadband access, increased level of support for basic literacy and programs and services, expanded digital technology training opportunities and strategic partnerships. To participate in the consultation process, register at http://de-en.gc.ca/home/.
