Our Keynote Speaker is Dr. Suzanne Smythe, Associate Professor, Adult Literacy and Adult Education from Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Canada. For more details about her work, see the SFU website.
With generative AI and the digital landscape in which we live, is there still a need for adult literacy and numeracy education? What does this mean for the future of Adult Literacy and Numeracy Practices?
This year's conference asks participants to consider these issues, reflect on current educational practices and explore how we can create future provision for individuals, communities and the sector. Some ideas for proposals and workshops could include AI/technology, building teacher capacity, innovation, and collaboration.
The day's program will include a number of presentations and practical workshops where we explored innovative ways of supporting our adult literacy and numeracy learners in their lifelong learning.
