Rising to the Literacy Challenge: Building a bright future for Britain
Tuesday 21 September 2010, 17.30-18.30
Starbucks Coffee House, Liverpool ONE (free coffee and cake)
Jane Davis joins Lord Graham Tope, Judy Friedberg (Guardian), Jonathan Douglas (Director, National Literacy Trust) in a panel discussion chaired by the New Stateman's Spencer Neal about how changes to the literacy landscape under the new Coalition Government could enable us to rise to the literacy challenge.
This event is one of a series of fringe debate events the National Literacy Trust are holding at each political party conference this autumn. The events, kindly supported by Starbucks, will give the panellists the chance to explain their ideas for how we can create a more literate Britain. Given the wide range of specialisms among the speakers the discussion will focus on a number of areas surrounding the literacy landscape including libraries, schools and early years settings.
