WHAT? Multi-literacy!

Multi – literacy

Literacy means more than grammar

Communication literacy

“Are you illiterate if you have no grammar?.” or “Are you are literate when you have grammar but you do not know how to get on with people living in your community.”

Community literacy

Meeting – reading with, working with, people in your local community. Knowing how to foster a community feeling of well being.

Computer literacy

Accepting and coming to know and use the part that computer technology has to improve our lives.

Cultural literacy

Having an inkling of a culture, or cultures, we do not and cannot and will never know.

Competence & confident competence

It is one thing to be competent and quite another to have confidence. When communities can become confident in their competence, when competencies are recognised and acknowledged, then communities can become not only multi-cultural but also multi-literate.
