Argentina - Meeting on Initial Literacy, a challenge faced with commitment
La Rioja, Argentina - December 2023 - A meeting was held on the theme "Initial Literacy: challenges and opportunities" at the National University of La Rioja (UNLaR). This initiative, jointly organised by the Angelelli Salesian house belonging to the Salesian Province of Northern Argentina (ARN) and the "Argentinos por la Educación" organisation, had as its central objective to address the problem of literacy from a strategic approach. During the meeting, which is part of the national campaign for literacy, topics such as the current diagnosis, current initiatives and strategies to improve the literacy landscape in the country were discussed. The initiative seeks to coordinate efforts between educational institutions, social organisations and local government agencies to influence the formulation of effective education policies. The Salesian Angelelli House in La Rioja plays a crucial role; its socio-educational proposal benefits more than 1,000 boys, girls, adolescents, young adults and adults, posing a significant challenge: to educate and evangelise, so that each person can fully exercise their right to education.
