Each year on International Literacy Day, UNESCO reminds the international community of the status of literacy and adult learning globally. This year the event will focus on the link between literacy and peace.
In support of the day the education charity FILMCLUB, that recently launched in Wales, has established a global literacy film season.
This special season of international films seeks to highlight the importance of literacy in people's lives and the disparity of literacy levels across the world, while at the same time helping members to develop their own skills by writing film reviews for the website.
Schoolchildren belonging to the charity will be encouraged to watch, discuss and review specially selected titles ranging from Akeelah & The Bee, about an impoverished girl's exceptional talent for spelling, to Eleanor's Secret, The Class and Oscar-winning drama The Lives of Others.
