Helping people develop skills to navigate the digital world.

"I now understand how to use my phone better. The apps Lisa introduced us to are very helpful. Lovely group of people in the class and Lisa allowed all of us to have our say. We also learned a lot from each other." Quote from participant
This course helped people develop skills to safely navigate the digital world. Courses addressed people's digital needs and focused on their economic and cultural surroundings.
Classes ran from October to December 2023 and took place every Tuesday in the Brill Family Resource Centre. Ten participants improved their digital skills, learnt how to use digital planning tools, and how to keep their devices safe with online cyber security.
Learners talked about mental health struggles and challenges. They also forged a close bond with one another.
Learners can navigate websites, download apps, and search for content on Google or YouTube thanks to this course. Participants say their confidence has soared. They eagerly share their newfound knowledge with friends and family.
