Hey fam, guess what? 🎉 This past Saturday night, the UNESCO Confucius Prize for Literacy hit a major milestone: its 20th anniversary celebration in Qufu, Shandong Province in the Chinese mainland – the birthplace of Confucius!
An award that's all about changing lives through education, the prize shone a spotlight on three incredible projects from Bangladesh, Ireland, and Morocco. These teams are boosting inclusive learning, focusing on literacy, rural education, and empowering women and children. Talk about real-world impact! 🌍✨
Launched two decades ago, the UNESCO Confucius Prize for Literacy was the first UNESCO award named after a Chinese figure. Over the years, it has honored 57 projects across 36 countries and regions, inspiring global support for vulnerable learners worldwide.

Looking ahead, the ceremony reminds us why literacy matters: it's the key to unlocking new opportunities, building stronger communities, and shaping tomorrow's leaders. Whether you're a student, an entrepreneur, or a culture explorer, literacy is the foundation for every dream. Keep reading, keep learning, and keep making an impact! 💪📚
