Political participation and literacy National Adult Literacy Awareness Week 25 – 29 September 2006 National Adult Literacy Awareness Week (NALAW) has the theme of 'Political participation and literacy' this year. This theme has been chosen in anticipation of, and preparation for, a general election in the Spring of 2007. NALAW will focus on the political establishment from government departments and their support agencies, politicians and political parties to individuals and organisations which are focused on the political system. The intention is to assist them to deal more effectively and sensitively with 500,000 (OECD 1997) members of the public who are improving their literacy skills. This campaign will also examine how literacy issues can be a barrier to understanding and participating in the political system in Ireland.
Elements There will be three sub-themes to NALAW: voter participation including voter registrations and understanding the elections / referenda participating in political parties - party manifestos, - voting and canvassing, - who the political parties are? - how the parties are organised? - what do they do? how do you join? Understanding government - how local, national and EU government works.
The goals of the campaign The goals of the campaign are to: raise awareness of the issue of literacy as a barrier to political participation; assist organisations which shape the political scene, in promoting a clear understanding of their work to the widest range of people in society; draw on international experience and know how; and begin a national debate on the issue.
What will National Adult Literacy Awareness Week include? NALAW 2005 will include: The launch of NALAW and 'An A to Z guide to the European Union' by Minister of Foreign Affairs Dermot Ahern at the Department for Foreign Affairs - Monday (25/9) The launch of a literacy student voter registration campaign at the Dublin City Council. This will include a short presentation / dialogue by students on political participation on Tuesday (26/9); Launch of 'A plain English guide to political terms' at the Dail on Thursday (28/9); and A national conference on Friday (29/9) on political participation and literacy at the National College of Ireland (Mayor Street, IFSC, Dublin 1), with the following speakers: - Alex Markham, Resources and Training Officer, Electoral Commission (UK) - Minister Sile de Valera TD. - Bridie Daly literacy student
