Reading is Everyone’s Business

Philippine Pavilion Event

Progressive educators Almario and Ocampo share stories of communities taking into their own hands creative and unconventional ways of addressing the country’s literacy crisis. It takes a village to teach reading: through a wealth of stories— their very own and from afar, or from a time past, and in their own languages.
