Listen "Difference in Approach: Indigenous Perspective"
Episode Synopsis
In today’s episode, we're exploring the distinction between Indigenous adult literacy programs and general adult literacy programs.
While both aim to enhance literacy skills, the approaches, philosophies, and the cultures they draw upon can be strikingly different. Indigenous adult literacy programs not only focus on reading and writing but also weave in traditional knowledge, language preservation, and a deep connection to cultural heritage. Meanwhile, more mainstream adult literacy programs are often shaped by Western educational models, which may not always resonate with or serve Indigenous learners in the same way.
