Check out http://www.literaciesoise.ca/Index.html . . . The Canadian “Festival of Literacies”

You’ll find podcasts from literacy workers, oral histories (presented in text and in video), fantastic reports (like those on how folks with limited formal education learn [they learn a lot!], literacy experiences of sex workers and the literacy workers who work with them, etc), and a number of other very interesting projects. I’m learning so much!

From their homepage:

Welcome to the Festival of Literacies.

We are a place to celebrate the creation and mobilization of knowledge 
about literacy practice and literacy research.
