LEFT-IN Founding Member, Mark Stewart, has collaborated with Dr Julien Grenier CBE for an article in the UK Times Educational Supplement.

The article discusses helping left-handed children in the Early Years Foundation Stage of the UK Education System.

LEFT-IN Member, Bipinchandra Chaugule, was recently asked by Bored Panda to comment on the everyday tasks and items that prove challenging for left-handers.

The Centre for Education Rights and Transformation, at the Faculty of Education at University of Johannesburg, at the African Left-Handers Foundation held the Harmony of Hands Indaba.

It was held on Tuesday 17th September 2024 and was very well supported both locally and internationally.

International Left-Handers Day falls on a Tuesday this year, 13th August. Celebrations and events are happening around the world!

The Lefthanders & Ambidextrous Care Initiative in Nigeria is holding a live product expo of products for left-handers in Abuja. It will also be streamed live on Zoom for those around the world who may wish to learn more but are unable to attend in person.

In November 2023, the Victorian Department of Education updated its Literacy Teacher Toolkit to include specific instruction on left-handedness in the classroom.  This Toolkit is fully referenced and supports best practice on writing technique, letter formation and learning for left-handers. 

The Australian Government has recently undertaken its Review to Inform a Better and Fairer Education System. LEFT-IN members contributed to the response to ensure left-handed students are treated fairly and inclusively.
