Why this partnership matters
This partnership reflects the shared purpose of Unlock Innovation and Literacy Aotearoa.
Literacy Aotearoa helps people build the foundational skills and confidence needed to thrive in work and everyday life. Unlock Innovation focuses on recognising and celebrating the unique strengths of dyslexic thinkers. Together, we are able to support people whose talents may have been overlooked and create environments where their thinking is valued.
By combining practical skill building with a strengths-based approach to neurodiversity, this partnership aims to remove barriers, open new pathways and help individuals, organisations and communities benefit from diverse ways of thinking.
