Episode 19 - EPIC conversations with Literacy Warriors and a Mother Goose!

Do you know how life-changing using your imagination can be??

"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution." - Albert Einstein

In this week’s episode, we were able to capture the magic our literacy members are spreading throughout their communities in helping adults, parents, children and babies increase their life learning through growing their confidence and imagination!

Literacy Low-Down

As part of the “On the Road Video Series,” LQ is capturing the positive impact and working environs of our direct literacy service members. Chris had the chance to sit down with the directors of Laurentian Literacy Centre, Marlene Dagenais and Western Quebec Literacy Centre, Michele Gagnon, for an epic conversation about the incredible successes and challenges literacy learners and tutors go through daily, to live a more engaged life. Note# Apologies for the refrigerator sound in the background for the first part of the conversation!

We interview Chantel & Rachel, capturing their energy and spirit of giving parents and grandparents the tools to inspire their children to grow their imaginations through literacy.
