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

Addressing widespread literacy deficits can enhance human capital, reduce social inequality, and foster innovation across various sectors.
