ILF Founder Suzy Wilson inspired attendees at the 2016 Global Education Conference in Tasmania this week as she spread the word about our work. Delegates responded well to her reminder of our Ambassador Richard Flanagan's words; "literacy is finally an act of liberation". Photographed here with John Williamson, Dean of the Faculty of Education, University of Tasmania.
Sessions at the conference covered conservation themes, peace economics, community partnerships, global education and Indigenous literacy.
Suzy said responses to her session were very enthusiastic and "a representative of International Baccalaureate Program said that books such as our 2015 publication 'No Way Yirrikipayi' would make welcome additions to book lists for schools around the world that teach their program." This book was published as part of our Community Literacy Project. In 2016 we hope to publish a further six community stories.
