The Aberdeenshire CLD Kenya Literacies Learning Exchange builds on an international partnership between Aberdeenshire Council’s Community Learning and Development Service and Inspire Nyeri, a community based literacies organisation in Kenya. Through virtual collaboration and an exchange visit, the project enabled staff to learn from innovative, community led literacy approaches used in Nyeri. Insights inform the co-development of inclusive, sustainable and outcome focused literacies models for use in Aberdeenshire. The project has strengthened professional learning, enhanced local literacies provision, reduce stigma around literacies learning, and create a framework for future international exchange, benefitting learners, families, and communities in both regions.
