Communications and publicity All primary and all secondary schools in Edinburgh have been offered the opportunity to participate in Mission Dyslexia or Noticeability. The work of the Initiative has been widely shared on the CEC and Dyslexia Scotland websites and social media, so raising awareness within the CEC educational and wider dyslexia community. Following the extensive media publicity about the launch of the Sean Connery Foundation, national press expressed an interest in the Initiative itself, and in June 2023 the Scotsman newspaper ran a twopage story with the headline ‘Connery dyslexia scheme success hailed.’ Stephane Connery was quoted as saying that for his father learning to read was the single most important thing to happen in his life. This news item raised awareness of the impact of the Sean Connery Foundation nationally.
