Based on input from the survey and intense discussion at the planning meeting, the SLN developed the following Mission Statement and Values to guide its future work. The Saskatchewan Literacy Network is a provincial partnership committed to increasing public awareness of adult and family literacy as the basis of lifelong learning. Values Literacy is a basic human right. Literacy training is a societal responsibility. Learning is lifelong.
Learners are central to all literacy programming and policy development.
Communication is clear and open. We respect diverse needs and cultures. We believe in the highest quality of information and literacy programming. The next step in the planning process is the development of organizational goals that will provide a framework for SLN activities over the next several years. Watch for an update on the goals and planned activities in the next issue of Literacy Matters .
