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.

Founding Member, Steve McGuirk in Australia, recently joined a discussion about left-handedness on a lifestyle television program.
