Celebrate with activities made possible by our sponsors... 

The ILA and its partners promote International Listening Awareness Month at social, educational, and professional events throughout the world. March was chosen as International Listening Awareness Month because it provides a good lead-in to the annual ILA convention, which is usually held in March. Today, International Listening Awareness Month continues to provide a good introduction to the annual ILA convention. In addition, it is gaining in popularity around the world. Jay Leno, US American television late-night host, even mentioned the celebration during one of his Tonight Show monologue. Additional, listing Listening Awareness Month in Chase’s Calendar of Events, which according to The Wall Street Journal is “the definitive guide to all holidays and anniversaries,” has helped to propel this celebration into a more prominent position.  

Throughout the month, the ILA and its partners will be posting on its Website various articles and activities that you can use to celebrate International Listening Awareness Month at your own institution or office. Especially during March AND throughout the entire year, take time to truly listen! 

Want to celebrate Listening Awareness Month where you live? ILA has teamed up with four sponsors to bring you some exercises and activities to use. ILA is proud to partner with Concept Keys, Described and Captioned Media, Barnett Helzberg, Jr., and Rockhurst University.
