During this prestigious event, the three laureates from Egypt, Indonesia, and Nigeria of this year’s UNESCO Confucius Prize for Literacy were recognized for their outstanding contributions to literacy.
Organized by the Chinese National Commission for UNESCO in cooperation with the Shandong Provincial Education Department, the event was a lively celebration that perfectly aligned with the theme of this year's International Literacy Day “Promoting Multilingual Education: Literacy for Mutual Understanding and Peace”, highlighting the commitment to literacy as a tool for global cohesion and social progress.
The ceremony featured a video message from Ms Stefania Giannini, UNESCO Assistant Director-General for Education, on behalf of Ms Audrey Azoulay, UNESCO Director-General, who extended her congratulations and emphasized the significance of the laureates' contributions to education. In her message, Ms. Giannini emphasized, "The International Literacy Day celebrations have shown that policies and actions are needed to keep up with these multi-layered transformations, in order to ensure, through an inclusive access to education, a fairer and just society for all."
