Literacy is central to building inclusive, just, sustainable digitalized societies and reimagining education. When acquired through critical pedagogy and ‘ engaged pedagogy ’ prioritizing co-creation of knowledge through non-hierarchical dialogue and critical reflection, literacy enables people to read not only a ‘word’ but the ‘world’ in which they live to become agents for transformations. Digital platforms are expanding access to such dialogic learning , creating new possibilities for interconnectedness, collaborative meaning-making, and inclusive engagement in lifelong learning processes. Digital technologies are also facilitating mother language-based and/or multilingual approaches to literacy development , which in turn contributes to safeguard linguistic, cultural and epistemic diversity. Also important is more reflective and responsible engagement with digital tools, which considers their environmental impact, such as water and energy consumption.
