In 2006, the Frankfurt Book Fair created a new key focus called “Education for the Future”. As the largest book and media fair worldwide, the Frankfurt Book Fair also takes responsibility for the promotion of  basic education and media literacy.
Therefore it startet the Frankfurt Book Fair Literacy Campaign - LitCam - toghether with the cooperation partners UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning and Bundesverband Alphabetisierung und Grundbildung e.V. Since spring 2010 LitCam is a non profit organisation.

LitCam initiates projects focused on mediating basic skills like reading, writing and arithmetic as well as using (digital) media.
The projects aim at preventing social exclusion through improving chances for disadvantaged groups.

LitCam is led by its mission “Competence for Life”.

LitCam objectives:
To promote international cooperation and networking (e.g. LitCam Conferences)
To inform important decision makers and the general public about the topic (e.g. at public events)
To develop collaborative projects with participating partners
To develop and implement self-initiated projects: Football Meets Culture and Reading and Learning Rooms
