The Fredericton Regional Family Resource Centre, in partnership with the national
training program, Weaving Literacy into Family and Community Life and The National
Literacy Secretariat has developed a series of Weaving Literacy into the Fabric
of Life workshops.
The objectives of the workshops are:
- To increase public awareness of literacy
issues and of the importance of life long learning
- To help service providers in the Fredericton area and Family Resource
Centres around the province to examine the effectiveness of their service
to those with
literacy challenges
- To encourage service providers and Family Resources Centres to act
as a link between literacy programs and those who might benefit from attending
them
- To provide a resource guide containing a list of pertinent reading
material
as well
as contact information and programs available to people who wish to
improve their skills or for those wishing to become involved in the literacy
field in some
capacity.
