International Literacy Day



Dearest friends

Fifty years ago, UNESCO officially proclaimed 8 September International Literacy Day to actively mobilize the international community and to promote literacy as an instrument to empower individuals, communities and societies.

The International Literacy Day is celebrated all around the world.

It brings together governments, multi- and bilateral organizations, NGOs, private sectors, communities, teachers, learners and experts in the field.

This year the focus is on innovation.

The main global celebration of the day will take place at UNESCO Headquarters, Paris in the form of a two-day conference on 8 - 9 September.

On this day also International Literacy Prizes are awarded to people with outstanding solutions that can drive literacy towards achieving the 2030 Education Agenda.

Let’s us all use our literacy as a tool for the benefice of mankind and contribute to make the world a better place to live.
