Relax-a-cucha 2020: Literacies Writ Large (It’s more than ready & writing!)
Join us for an informative and engaging evening that explores aspects of literacies not often thought about.
The speakers have been asked to present 12 visual slides that highlight an aspect of literacy other than reading and writing. Each speaker will have 7 minutes to speak to their slides as they introduce the audience to new ways of thinking about literacies that help us navigate the world.
This is a free event, however registration is required and will be capped at 100 people. There will be opportunities for socializing and refreshments.
