Hey fam, big news! 🎉 UNESCO just threw a mega celebration in Qufu, Shandong Province on the Chinese mainland, for the 20th anniversary of the Confucius Prize for Literacy. This award celebrates everyday heroes making reading and writing accessible for women, kids and rural learners.
This year’s spotlight shines on three rockstar initiatives from Bangladesh, Ireland and Morocco. Picture community reading hubs buzzing in Dhaka, mobile learning vans cruising through Dublin’s streets and pop-up literacy workshops in Marrakech. They’re all about inclusive education—that’s learning designed for everyone, no matter your background.
Since kicking off in 2004, the Confucius Prize has highlighted 57 projects across 36 countries. Its mission? To salute game-changing efforts in rural education and inspire more support for vulnerable learners worldwide. Here’s to another 20 years of spreading knowledge! 🚀📚🌍
