The Online Compass workshop helps older adults feel more confident and independent online. More of daily life — from admin to staying in touch — is moving online, which can be a challenge. This workshop helps those barriers come down, step by step.
We go at a clear, patient pace, and everyone gets personal help. No prior knowledge is needed — the aim is that each person can grow from their own starting point.
Among other topics we cover:
basics of smartphones and computers
browsing and finding information
writing and managing email
basics of online administration
staying in touch with family (e.g. video calls, messaging)
online safety and privacy
Participants gain knowledge and confidence: they see that the online world need not be complicated — it can be useful and even enjoyable.
