Australians of all ages are invited to be a part of the effort to improve
Indigenous literacy.
Here are some ideas to get you started.
-
Participate in The Great Book Swap
sharing our common love of books and reading while raising money to support
Indigenous literacy.
-
Encourage your local school to host an event on Indigenous Literacy Day and
participate in The Great Book Swap and making sure your
children's teacher or teacher librarian knows about this website.
-
On Indigenous Literacy Day, Wednesday
September 1 2010 purchase a book at a participating
bookshop.
-
On Indigenous Literacy Day
organise a gold coin donation at your workplace or school.
-
Encourage your bookclub to read a title from our
Indigenous booklist
, or read one yourself.
-
Raise awareness of this project in your workplace newsletter, notice board or
website. Send a link to this website to your friends.
Please let us know what you are planning to do to support this important
initiative. We’d like to help generate local support if we can.
