The examples of literacy programmes showcased and analysed in this publication confirm the critical role of literate environments. They have been selected from UNESCO’s Effective Literacy and Numeracy Practises Database (LitBase), which UIL develops on a continuous basis. They demonstrate first and foremost how the development of literate environments can positively influence people’s motivation to (re-)engage in literacy and learning and how they can practise their newly acquired skills in their daily activities to reach sustainable skills levels. In addition, they reveal successful strategies towards a culture of reading, writing and learning in the family, community or wider society. The examples reflect different contexts, such as families, libraries and prisons, to illustrate the potential of ICTs, intergenerational approaches, and community, mobile and prison libraries to engage young people and adults in literacy and learning.
