Welcome to SACAL

Welcome to the South Australian Council for Adult Literacy Homepage. SACAL works towards the promotion and advocacy for a literate society. Members come from a wide range of sectors across South Australia.

in South Australia

Dr Sue Shore

Charles Darwin University, NT.
and
Jenny Carson
former SA adult literacy coordinator,
teacher and workplace trainer, now retired.

The SACAL Literacy Dialogues are always an opportunity to explore issues facing South Australian industry trainers, educators and policy makers. The speakers at this dialogue will prompt your thinking about adult literacy ‘work’ across the decades: When did it start? What did it look like in the early days? What changes have occurred in the field as you have known it? What are the official stories and the untold stories of literacy provision? This is the first in a number of dialogues and longer term project activity which aims to develop a digital archive of literacy memorabilia and artefacts to prompt many, as yet untold, stories of literacy practice in South Australia.
