INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN OCEANIA COMMITTEE (IDOC)

The International Development in Oceania Committee (IDOC) is a Standing Committee of the International Reading Association (IRA) and has a long history of collaboration and cooperation with and between the Australian Literacy Educators’ Association (ALEA) and the New Zealand Reading Association (NZRA). This collaboration has always been in the interest of building capacity and capabilities of key literacy workers in the South Pacific Islands. In more recent times, a focus has also been on how these two IRA affiliates can identify and work on areas of mutual interest and need.

IDOC’s aims are to: facilitate the promotion of IRA membership and council development in the Oceania region; identify and/or support professional development projects in the region, and; assist with proposal development for IRA and other grants.
