Learners testimonials

All the versions of this article: [English] [Français]

For Eur-Alpha, the learners are experts in Literacy. They have a lot to say on the matter and should be heard. Thanks to a Belgian learner, Fabrice Ramsey, now cameraman, the learners had a chance to explain their life stories and their views on literacy.

Some testimonials are simply autobiographic, others show a real insight on the political aspects of literacy.

In front of the camera, the learners were asked the following questions:

  • What is the main element in your life story you would like to talk about?
  • What did the training to change your life?
  • What do you get out of the European experiment with Eur-Alpha?
  • How do you see the future for this European experiment?

The interviews were gathered in a DVD, available by simple request at lire-et-ecrire@lire-et-ecrire.be.
