Collection: Learning Materials
This video, about three minutes in length, focuses on a program in Inuvik, Northwest Territories, to help young people improve their literacy skills and set goals for the future.
The program coordinator explains that her job was to create a 10-module literacy workshop aimed at young adults, between the ages of 15 and 29, who were not employed and not in school.
She decided, at the end of the program, to compile the students’ work in a publication. Entitled “A Place All My Own,” it includes personal stories as well as writings about First Nations heritage. It can be found at http://library.nald.ca/item/6429.
The video was prepared by the Adult Learning Knowledge Centre (AdLKC).

classes in reading and writing; computer learning; photostories; reading group; and a book club.
Selected works by students in our program are presented in this book. We also celebrate our students and tutors by presenting this book as a yearbook.

4. Writing Our Voices (2003)
Stories from UFCW Literacy Students
Authors: UFCW Training Centre Students
Collection: Learning Materials
This booklet is a compilation of stories written by members of a workers' union in Winnipeg, Manitoba attending the UFCW Local 832 Literacy Program. It is a chance for the authors to let their voices and stories be heard. Through these stories, we not only learn about their struggles - we learn about how far they have come. We acknowledge and build on their experiences and skills. We hope that other workers will see themselves in our learners' stories and take encouragement and strength from them in their struggles to transform their own lives.
