Leveraging Literacy for a Borderless Society

I received the news from the Conference Committee of the Reading Association of the Philippines (RAP) that my proposal for paper presentation was approved. I have participated in many RAP Conferences in years past, but this is my first to attend the Asian Literacy Conference 2024 as a presenter. I will be presenting our Research Skills Program in our school library and it will be under a themed panel on Media and Information Literacy.

Here is information on the Asian Literacy Conference 2024.
