To celebrate International Literacy Day on 8 September 2015, the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) is launching five new publications
The theme for the day which annually raises global awareness on literacy is Literacy and Sustainable Societies. Literacy has long been recognized as a powerful accelerator of sustainable development. At the same time, progress in areas of sustainable development such as health and agriculture serve as an enabling factor in the promotion of literacy and literate environments.

- Learning Families – Intergenerational Approaches to Literacy Teaching and Learning. Selected case studies from LitBase.
- RAMAA. Recherche-action sur la mesure des apprentissages des bénéficiaires des programmes d’alphabétisation – Resultat de la première phase 2011-2014.
