Workshops, Presentations, Lectures and Symposia

These are organized by The Centre in response to the specific requests or interests of our partners, local and national. 

If your department, school, organization or workplace has a training need or interest related to literacy, basic education or lifelong learning, we can work with you to develop an event or program tailored to the specific needs of your practitioners, members or employees.
