- Abstract
-
In today’s societies literacy is regarded as the prerequisite for participating in the professional and private spheres of everyday life. It is regarded as a human right, a tool for personal empowerment and a tool to influence the behaviour of individuals, families and communities. Despite the international consensus that literacy skills determine opportunities and provide access to today’s information-based societies, many adults in both industrialized and developing countries find themselves on the margins of society due to their insufficient educational background.
The following report focuses on literacy and migration in the German context. By presenting the work of HÎNBÛN, which is a centre of learning and an advisory service for international women and their families in the district of Spandau in Berlin, it depicts an example of good practice. The work of HÎNBÛN draws attention to the importance of applying a holistic approach in teaching literacy to adults with a background of migration. The successful approach of HÎNBÛN serves as a noteworthy and transferable example that responds to the needs, ideas and conceptions of people with a background of migration. It also corresponds with the cultural and social heterogeneity of today’s societies.
