Literacies and Contemporary Society: From Skills to Practices

Literacy, and par­ti­cu­lar­ly what it means in 21st-century adult and lifelong learning contexts, is at the heart of the con­fe­rence. The theme “From Skills to Practices” under­lines the shift from simply measuring basic skills to how those skills are used in real edu­ca­tio­nal, social and pro­fes­sio­nal practices.

Technological, social and cultural changes (e.g., digital tools, mul­ti­l­in­gua­lism, cultural diversity and AI) are making new liter­a­ci­es and related basic skills ever more critical for par­ti­ci­pa­ti­on and inclusion in modern societies.
If you work in adult learning, basic skills provision, literacy education or related policy work, this con­fe­rence could offer valuable insights, net­wor­king oppor­tu­ni­ties and inspiration.
