Scott's digital literacy journey

"I was so proud of myself because I sent five words to her to say how was she going, or how are you ... and now, you just do the motions on it, and you don't even know you've sent it. Yeah, thumbs up, go for it. It sounds scary, some of it still is scary for me, but go outside your comfort zone, just get into it."

Scott's story

Scott is a Crusher Operator at Duggans and tells us about his journey with digital literacy.

Nathan turned his life around through literacy

“I just never expected it to have a snowball effect and affect other facets of my life.”

Tom's path to literacy

“You know you want to do something about it and that now is the time to do it. It doesn’t matter how old you are, or how young you are, but … once you’ve started you get the confidence that you, y’know, that you can, and it builds up from that, it just builds up and builds up.”

Acknowledgement of Country

26Ten recognises the deep histories and cultures of the Aboriginal people of Lutruwita/Tasmania, the land’s first storytellers. We acknowledge Tasmanian Aboriginal people as the traditional and continuing custodians of the land, waters and sky. We pay respect to the Elders, past and present, who hold the memories, traditions, culture and knowledge of Country. We extend our respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, whose Countries were never ceded.
