DESCRIPTION:Webinar: Monday 19th October 2020\, 12-1pm (UK time)\n\nRegiste
 r: www.bit.ly/FamilyLiteracyEduDev\nFamily literacy programmes in the Glob
 al South have tended to be modelled on US/UK approaches\, underpinned by a
 ssumptions about nuclear families and promoting Western ‘schooled’ lit
 eracy. This webinar will present preliminary findings from the UKRI-funded
  research 'Family Literacy\, Indigenous Learning and Sustainable Developme
 nt Project' which set out to develop an alternative model of family lite
 racy that could build on indigenous knowledge and everyday learning. Team
  members will share their ethnographic research on indigenous approaches t
 o intergenerational learning and knowledge in Nepal\, Ethiopia\, the Phili
 ppines and Malawi\, exploring literacy practices in relation to diverse li
 velihoods\, religion\, health\, forestry and agriculture. The research aim
 s to bring policymakers' and educators' attention to the disjunction betwe
 en current mainstream approaches to adult/family literacy instruction and 
 the ways in which adults and children learn in everyday life in order to e
 nhance the contribution of education to sustainable development.\nSpeakers
