September 8 – World Literacy Day
Reading and writing are more than just tools – they are the key to participation, to self-determination, to new worlds. On September 8, World Literacy Day, the world remembers how fundamental basic education is for the life of every individual and for the development of our society. We at Interface Wien also join this cause together with the UNESCO, dem BMFWF and the network Level Up – Adult Education to.
As a certified training provider of Level Up, we are committed to the project Basisbildung is committed to providing people with access, broadening their perspectives and creating opportunities. With offers such as InterSpace – Basisbildung für Jugendliche and Mama lernt Deutsch – Basisbildung für Frauen we support hundreds of participants in strengthening their skills and thus bringing more security, self-confidence and a better future into their lives in Vienna.
Our project StartWien Hub contributes to this as well: Here, we accompany newly arrived family members of refugees on their journey to a new life. Literacy courses are an important building block for creating a solid foundation – for learning, for work, for socializing, and for settling into a new home.
