Last-Minute Preparations for AEFL Week: Celebrating Adult Education and Literacy
As Adult Education and Family Literacy (AEFL) Week approaches, it’s time to make those final touches to ensure everything runs smoothly. This annual celebration highlights the importance of adult education and its role in strengthening communities. Whether you’re an educator, advocate, or supporter, now’s the time to rally behind the cause.
Here are a few last-minute preparations to help you make the most of AEFL Week 2024!
1. Share the Governor’s Proclamation
A key highlight of this year’s AEFL Week is the Governor’s Proclamation officially recognizing adult education. This proclamation underscores the importance of lifelong learning and recognizes the dedication of educators and advocates across the state.
Be sure to share this exciting news! Post the proclamation on your social media, send it to your email lists, and even reach out to local news outlets. This recognition helps spotlight the significance of adult education and motivates more people to get involved.
2. Engage Local Media and Social Networks
The Governor’s Proclamation gives you the perfect opportunity to contact local media. Share press releases, interviews, and success stories from your community to showcase how adult education is transforming lives.
Social media is also crucial. Encourage your audience to use #AEFLWeek2024 and share their personal stories. Combining the proclamation with real-life successes creates a powerful message that can inspire more support for adult literacy programs.
Tip: Share IAACE, COABE, and DWD posts!
3. Confirm Event Schedule
With just days to go, finalizing your event schedules is crucial. Whether hosting webinars, workshops, or in-person activities, double-check time slots, speakers, and technical needs. Ensure facilitators and volunteers have all the necessary information and support.
Send reminders to volunteers assisting with registration, setup, and navigation. A clear communication plan will help keep things running smoothly throughout the week.
