While long recognized in contexts with low literacy rates &#8211;\u00a0 where efforts have focused on combining literacy pathways with vocational training to improve employability &#8211; this issue is gaining renewed relevance in contemporary Switzerland.<\/p><p data-path-to-node=\"4,2\">The FDFA Strategy 2025\u201328 places increased emphasis on vocational education beyond basic schooling, making the integration of foundational and vocational skills both a practical concern and a strategic priority. This session seeks to make a compelling case for embedding basic literacy skills directly within VET systems.<\/p><p data-path-to-node=\"4,3\">Drawing on academic research and insights from three Swiss-funded programs in Africa &#8211; Enfants du Monde (Chad), Swisscontact (Niger), and Helvetas (Mozambique) &#8211; the session will present eight practical recommendations for project design. Following a short introduction and the presentation of these recommendations, participants will be invited to share their reflections. Afterward, attendees will receive a summary of key insights and resources for further exploration.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-008e55d e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"008e55d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-72e183e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"72e183e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Target Audience<\/strong><\/p><p>This event is open to the public and is designed for anyone working with learners who have low literacy skills.
