1. Fostering a Culture of Reading and Writing: Examples of Dynamic Literate Environments

Author

UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) (Germany), Hanemann, Ulrike, and Krolak, Lisa

Abstract

This publication demonstrates the potential of dynamic literate environments and the importance of nurturing a culture of reading and writing, examining four different contexts: digital environments, intergenerational settings, community libraries and prisons. The case studies, from UNESCO's Effective Literacy and Numeracy Practices Database (LitBase), show how the creation of opportunities and demand to use, improve and sustain (newly) acquired literacy skills can have a positive impact on people's motivation to (re-)engage in learning and encourage them to further integrate literacy into their everyday lives.

Abstract

This article shows how community libraries can create and support literate environments, which are essential for building and sustaining literacy skills in local communities. The paper begins with a subject analysis reviewing available background materials and literature on the topic. Next, relevant issues are considered based on experiences and impact evaluations from specific community libraries, namely Nepal's Rural Education and Development (READ) Centres. The findings indicate that since their foundation in 1991, READ Centres have evolved from traditional libraries to effective community development centres with a strong focus on social empowerment, economic development and lifelong learning, based on a library concept which is needs-based, community-owned and sustainable.
