September 8th is International Literacy Day! Started by UNESCO in 1966, the day highlights the importance of literacy to individuals, communities and societies. Expand your definition of literacy beyond reading and writing and think about the role of learning in your life – as a citizen, a student, a worker, a parent, a volunteer and a friend.
Every year on International Literacy Day, celebrations take place around the world to support literacy and learning. This year, celebrate with millions of others by taking the International Literacy Day challenge to bring literacy to life in your home, at school, in your workplace and in your community.
