Adult Literacy for Life is a whole-of-society strategy. It aims to ensure that everyone has the literacy, numeracy and digital literacy to participate in society and succeed in life. Read the Adult Literacy for Life strategy.

Hello, my name is Patrick Fox.

I'm the Regional Literacy Coordinator at Galway and Roscommon ETB. My background is in accessibility, universal design for learning, and educational technology. In my role, I promote understanding and awareness of unmet literacy needs across Galway and Roscommon by collaborating with passionate organisations to reach people across the two regions. If you are interested in joining or simply learning more about our mission, please reach out to me at patrick.fox@gretb.ie

Meet your Galway and Roscommon Literacy Coalition

The ALL strategy offers a cross-government, cross-society and cross economic approach. To make this possible, I set up a Regional Adult Literacy Coalition with members from a cross section of Government groups. The coalition will give power to people with unmet literacy needs by offering the opportunity to carve out a place for themselves in the world. They will do this by increasing capacity in literacy classes, making these accessible to all and creating a more literacy friendly environment.
