Adult Literacy for Life in Galway and Roscommon

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 Conor Griffin.

I am the Regional Literacy Coordinator with Galway and Roscommon ETB, bringing a background in Adult Guidance, support and early intervention strategies for early school leavers, and technology-enhanced learning. In my role, I work to raise awareness and understanding of unmet literacy needs across Galway and Roscommon, collaborating with a wide range of community, education, and support organisations to extend access to literacy services so individuals have the opportunity to develop the literacy skills needed to participate fully in education, employment, and community life. If you would like to learn more about my role or explore opportunities to get involved, please feel free to contact me at Conor.Griffin@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.
