In 2023 the Australian Council for Adult Literacy (ACAL) will hold its 45th annual conference In Adelaide across two venues: U City and TAFE SA. ACAL is the national organisation that promotes adult literacy and numeracy policy and practice through providing research, advocacy, debate, and professional development to practitioners in the field. For forty-five years, ACAL has provided a forum for language, literacy, numeracy, and digital skills (LLND) organisations and providers from across the country to advocate for the needs of learners and provide forums and webinars for LLND professionals.<\/p>\n
In this prospectus you will find more information about how you can contribute to the success of the 2023 ACAL Conference \u2013 Dynamic Dialogues, Vibrant Literacies: Reflect, Connect, Grow<\/em>.<\/p>\n Adult literacy is a significant issue in Australia with approximately 7.3 million (44.4%) of Australians aged 15 to 74 years having literacy skills that make everyday tasks difficult (ABS, 2013). Further to this, an additional 1 in 3 Australians (30 %) have literacy skills that make them vulnerable to unemployment and social exclusion. The impacts of low levels of adult literacy in a gig economy and society are of critical concern for individuals, employers, industry, policy makers, health providers and educational institutions. The ACAL conference will bring together delegates from across Australia and New Zealand. This is a great opportunity for sponsors to partner with ACAL to promote their services and provide support for adult literacy in Australia. Your message will reach managers, teachers, volunteers, Government representatives, and support staff from across a range of youth, adult education and community providers, libraries and registered training organisations from around Australia.<\/p>\n In addition to the delegates attending the conference in person, the ACAL subscriber list, totalling in excess of 1,800 subscribers, will receive information about your sponsorship. This is a unique opportunity to reach members and subscribers from across every state and territory of Australia who have an interest in adult language, literacy, numeracy, digital skills and employability skills.<\/p>\n The conference will begin on Thursday 7 September and conclude on Friday 8 September (International Literacy Day). The conference program offers a two-day exploration of new research and practice into teaching skills to learners in adult education with keynote speakers, presentations and workshops each day.<\/p>\n Each year the ACAL conference is held in a different state with numbers ranging between 100-250 in-person delegates. Attendees may be teachers, vocational trainers, curriculum designers, managers, Government representatives, volunteer tutors, librarians, academics, researchers, and postgraduate students. They work in a range of sites including Learn Locals, Neighbourhood Houses, Community Colleges, TAFEs, libraries, universities and private providers. The conference provides an opportunity for practitioners from around the country to come together and discuss important issues pertaining to the adult literacy field, as well as share experiences and build new networks.<\/p>\n Thursday: TAFE SA, Currie Street, Adelaide<\/p>\n Thursday and Friday:\u00a0 U City, Franklin Street, Adelaide.<\/p>\n You are invited to partner with ACAL by selecting a sponsorship option outlined below.
