2. IL, a truly shared goal for libraries
all life long
Literacy concept – are we thinking about the same?
School and public libraries
(1) they share common goals
(2) they need to work together to reach them on time
(3) they really CAN do it
Recipes? Sorry, you must create your own.
3. Sharing Visions and Mission
statements
Talk about it, find common senses
and put it on written

Don´t delay too much
Later, you can always re-write it

10. Are we listening?
Portugal needs to pay much more attention to literacy.
[Analyses of the] impact of literacy on Portugal’s
economic performance over the past 50 years leaves
little doubt that the nation has paid a significant price for
failing to increase the supply of literacy skill available to
the economy.
The estimate of GDP per capita forgone represents a huge
reduction in the standard of living available to the vast
majority of Portuguese citizens.
11. Are we paying attention?
Correcting this situation will require a concerted and
coordinated effort, one that links educational, social and
economic policies in a way that increases the supply of
literacy skill leaving the school system; reduces the
number of low skilled adults through the provision of
remedial instruction; increases the knowledge and skill
intensity of employment and the demand for literacy use
at work; improves the efficiency of the markets that
allocate literacy skill; and increases the social and
economic demand for literacy skill acquisition and use.
12. Are we acting in the right direction?
A failure to undertake such concerted and coordinated
action will inevitably lead to below-potential rates of
economic growth and standards of living.

13. Literacy & Development
By highlighting the status of literacy in today's world and reviewing
the international commitment on literacy previous decades, we
encourage everyone to take the challenge seriously. By showing
how the concept of literacy has evolved and how it connects with
broad areas of social development, we ask everyone to consider
how literacy may be linked to their own engagement into
development.

presenting Unesco Literacy Decade (2003-2013)
14. EMMILE, 2012
For this challenge, we'll need libraries, connected and
motivated on a Digital, Media and Information Literacy
focused strategy, cooperating to increase resources and
adjust programs to the ultimate source of meaning, futures
citizens and their development skills.
“EMMILE in libraries” proposals could not be more actual
Milan 2012 is meant to be one more step in the right direction.
Thanks you all for sharing this step
Shall we dance?.
