A group of 35-40 adult learner leaders from across the U.S. will gather to create a national adult literacy student organization. The Highlander Center has for years nurtured literacy, labor, civil rights and other social change movements in the South, and has attracted leaders from across the country who have returned to make a difference in their communities; it is an especially fitting place for the birth of this organization. A small group of adult learners and practitioners has been meeting by telephone to plan this three-day meeting, and the application forms will be ready by mid-December. Since the applications will have a January 15th deadline, please tell potential adult learner applicants about this now. We also want to notify those who may wish to publish the application in newsletters, announcements, or in other ways, that they can expect it to be posted to this listserv and ready for downloading and printing, in the next two weeks. The adult learner-driven Highlander planning group is actively engaged in fundraising activities now, seeking grants from foundations and corporations, and contributions from individuals, to underwrite some of the costs of this event. We hope to cover partial costs for participants who could not otherwise attend, but we also expect them to get help from state and local adult literacy agencies and organizations. Stay tuned to this listserv for more information in the next two weeks.
