ELINET Fifth Annual General Assembly 

Sunday, July 3th 17.00-18.00 Meeting of Members of the EUROPEAN LITERACY POLICY NETWORK ASSOCIATION e.V. (ELINET ASSOCIATION). Fortunately, this year we will finally again be able to organize a face-to-face meeting during the European Literacy Conference in Dublin. As we will have no elections, no amendments to Statutes or other formal business this year, the ELINET Board wants to keep reports and updates as short as possible (about 45 Min.) and use the main part of our time for reflection and exchange about the current status and the future of our work.
