Indigenous Literacy Day

by bookedout

Wednesday 6 September marks Indigenous Literacy Day, a national day to celebrate Indigenous culture, stories, language and literacy. This is a day to work towards closing the literacy gap between Indigenous and non-indigenous children, with donations helping to provide books and literacy programs to remote communities across Australia.

The Indigenous Literacy Foundation encourages us all to participate in this day - here are some suggestions:
  • Hold a Great Book Swap
  • Make a donation through their website
  • Hold a literacy event such as a book launch or storytelling session
  • Take an ILF donation box to work or school
  • Advocate for us on social media and tag @IndigenousLiteracyFoundation on Facebook and @IndigneousLF on Twitter with #ILD2017

You can also go to the ILF website to buy a book!
