ABOUT US
The Multiliteracies Learning Initiative (MLI) aims to investigate the idea of multiliteracies within the curriculum and how it can transform how people learn. Through multiliteracies we explore themes of multimodal literacy, critical literacy, creative learning, collective intelligence and reflective risk taking. Our aim is to strengthen the links between research and practice. Our team is made up of colleagues from different spheres of education including classroom teachers, consultants and academic researchers working towards the sole aim of promoting the benefits of a multiliteracies approach to teaching and learning.
