Literacy in real life – stories and voices across communities

To celebrate International Literacy Day 2026, the Literacy in Real Life webinar series brings together practitioners, community organisations, educators, and learners to explore the many ways literacy shapes our everyday lives. Through a series of free online lunchtime talks, participants will gain insights into literacy awareness, health literacy, workplace literacy, digital literacy, and the lived experiences of adult learners. The programme highlights how literacy extends far beyond reading and writing and plays a vital role in supporting participation, confidence, wellbeing, and lifelong learning
