One of our Be Connected Digital Mentors will walk you through topics including:

  • Using emojis effectively

This event will also help you to build your confidence using online tools like Zoom and provide you with access to a wealth of information via the Be Connected website.

We hope you can join us for this wonderful event!

NOTE: We highly recommend using a laptop, desktop computer or tablet device for these sessions. We don't recommend using a smartphone as the screen size does not allow for a good viewing experience.

The Place is proud to be the first community organisation in NSW to take part in the NSW Device Bank Pilot Program, supporting more people in our community to get connected and build confidence online. Through the program, we helped allocate 30 refurbished laptops to local people in our community, including seniors, carers, people with disability and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Participants receive 12 months of free data, digital skills training and IT Support to help them make the most of their device. Delivered by NSW Telco Authority in partnership with WorkVentures and Good Things Australia, the NSW Device Bank Pilot Program is part of the NSW Government’s Digital Inclusion Strategy. The program helps bridge the digital divide by giving people access to the essential technology, connectivity and support needed in today’s digital world. We’re incredibly grateful for this opportunity for our local community and want to thank everyone who made it possible.
