Series: Adult Learners’ Week in Nova Scotia
Authors: Literacy Nova Scotia
In 2009, the theme for International Adult Learners' Week (IALW) in Nova Scotia was “Living and Learning for a Viable Future – The Power of Adult Learning.” Literacy Nova Scotia (LNS) celebrated the week a writing contest.
Winners in the contest’s four divisions were invited to present their submissions at a reception in Halifax. Here, the winner in the video category describes how learning changed her life.
Born in Mexico, she moved to Lebanon at the age of nine. She was married at 17, and widowed at 19. While she wanted to finish her education, the principal of the local school said her age and marital status made that impossible.
In 2004, she and her son moved to Canada to start a new life. She signed up for an adult learning program and is making plans to get her high school diploma, go to university, and become a pharmacist.

Series: Adult Learning Video Series
Authors: Adult Learning Knowledge Centre (AdLKC)
This video, about three and a half minutes in length, focuses on a program that combines writing with reading to help both parents and young children advance their literacy skills.
The “Picture It, Publish It, Read It” program was developed by professors at Mount Saint Vincent University in Nova Scotia and was piloted with a parents’ group in Yarmouth, in the southwest region of that province.
The program builds on the parents’ existing knowledge of the importance of reading to their children by showing how writing fits into overall literacy. Children in the program were given cameras to take photos in their neighbourhood, then used the pictures they had taken to make books about their interests.
The program helps parents gain confidence in their ability to support their children’s learning as they begin school.
The video was prepared by the Adult Learning Knowledge Centre (AdLKC).
