Enhancing knowledge transfer and hacking the global gaps are among the top WSA goals. This year, the International Literacy Day (ILD) 2020 will focus on literacy teaching and learning during the COVID-19 crisis and beyond, with a focus on the role of educators and changing pedagogies. Since many years, WSA Winners have shown how important literacy programs and their accessibility are, be it for indigenous people in Australia, people with disabilities in South Korea, youngsters in barley accessible regions in Zimbabwe or migrants and refugees in Jordan.

2. The Living First Languages Platform (LFLP)
The Living First Language Platform addresses the urgent global need to revitalize, preserve and teach Indigenous Languages through the development of community-driven, interactive and dynamic digital literacy apps. When languages die, we lose more than words. We lose a carrier of culture and the connection we share with ourselves, our tradition and our history. This technology bridges cultural divides, encourages literacy and, most importantly, puts First Languages firmly back in community members’ hands to pass on to the next generation.
