Changing lives. One story at a time

This year’s theme is ‘Changing lives. One story at a time’. We’re collecting stories to show the difference literacy, numeracy and digital skills make in people’s lives.
We want to hear from all those involved in adult literacy and numeracy – learners, tutors, volunteers, workplaces, service providers, staff and community members – about why it matters.
These stories will help raise awareness of adult literacy, encourage others to improve their skills and highlight the valuable work happening across Tasmania.
