Indigenous Literacy
Day is a national celebration of indigenous stories, language and culture. Pearl
Cove school students will attend sessions over a two week period, interacting
with Human Books. These Human Libraries will provide a primary source of
information on Indigenous children in remote communities and the Pearl Cove
indigenous community, past, present and future.
Students will
participate in The Great Book Swap
in exchange for a gold coin donation. All proceeds are returned to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation and
invested into books that preserve the language and stories of the remote communities.
So bring a book to swap and encourage literacy for all. For more information
please refer to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation website.

ReplyDeleteNice work! My HLL is about children too.
It is very thoughtful that you arrange 2 different sessions in a day for the participants and the book swap is a great idea too!

I love to see a resourceful event within reading and dreaming.
