Help! Are you involved in adult numeracy in your country* as a teacher, manager, researcher or policy maker? Could you help us identify interesting things that are happening in the field? We *Terry Maguire from Ireland, and Keiko Yasukawa and Betty Johnston from Australia * are working on a joint research project (*see overview below) to put together the beginnings of an international picture of what is happening in the adult numeracy field worldwide. We would very much welcome and value your help. One section of the research (the second strand*see overview of project below) requires us to identify any particularly interesting or significant initiatives relating to adult numeracy in a variety of countries These might be to do with - provision and policy for indigenous groups - numeracy and other social justice issues - explicitly integrated literacy and numeracy initiatives - initiatives involving second-language and numeracy learning - cross-cultural issues - numeracy and community development or capacity-building in urban, or rural, or isolated areas e.g. in the environmental or women's movements - family, community, school partnerships - etc etc We would be very grateful if you could briefly describe the initiative, indicating why you think it is interesting or significant and giving us some way of contacting those involved (email would be best, if possible). If you could also add any references of related published material that would be very helpful. We would welcome also more general references that would give us useful data about adult numeracy and its development in your country. Please send responses by email to Terry Maguire <terrymag@iol.ie> by 14th February 2002 if possible Thanks for your time! Terry, Keiko & Betty
