The European Literacy Coalition unites diverse European organizations to advance literacy, encompassing traditional reading and writing alongside digital skills. Its primary objective is to equip individuals of all ages with essential skills for full societal participation and active citizenship, addressing a significant challenge where many across Europe lack the literacy levels needed for educational, professional, cultural, and civic engagement.

Why it matters

The development and promotion of comprehensive literacy skills, including digital literacy, are fundamental for economic productivity, social cohesion, and democratic participation within any society. Addressing widespread literacy deficits can enhance human capital, reduce social inequality, and foster innovation across various sectors.

Key insights

  • Literacy is defined broadly to include reading, writing, and digital literacy.
  • The coalition's goal is to enable individuals of all ages to develop skills necessary for full societal participation and active citizenship.
