Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF) – The Great Book Swap

  • Wednesday 7 September (Indigenous Literacy Day)
  • Gold coin to buy books donated.

Why?

UNESCO’s Decade of Indigenous Languages 2022–2032 emphasises as prerequisites for survival of Indigenous languages Indigenous peoples’ rights to:

  • freedom of expression
  • an education in their mother tongue
  • participate in public life using their languages.

Money raised helps the ILF work to meet the wishes of remote communities across Australia, to assist with the publishing of books created by community – many in First Languages – as well as to fund the development of digital, audio, or other learning resources and workshops.
