International Literacy Day

International Literacy Day, 8 September

Literacy is a right and empowers people. It opens doors to the enjoyment of other human rights and greater freedoms.

Literacy is a foundation on which people can acquire broader knowledge, skills, values and, attitudes and behaviours to foster a culture of sustainability and lasting peace, based on respect for equality and non-discrimination, the rule of law, solidarity, justice, diversity, and tolerance and to build harmonious relations with oneself, other people and the planet.
