In partnership with Go ON, the Go Digital team will be embarking on a 26 week campaign across Newcastle to help people develop digital skills in Search, Communicate and Share.
The North East has one of the lowest number of people who have never accessed the internet, 18.4% against a UK average of 14.5% according to Office of National Statistics data for 2013.
Some key events will be taking place in October which will include:
- The launch of the regional campaign at the Baltic, Gateshead
- A “Techy Tea Party” in the City Library from 2 - 4 with volunteers from EE
- Support to get online offered in Northumberland Street Post Office 2 - 4
- UNISON celebrating International Day Of Older Persons through its Community Learning Project are holding an event in Committee Room, Civic Centre, Newcastle between 12 -2. The event will include IPads, Kindles and Laptops to try out with one to one support through our Union Learning Reps
To get more people online, a series of events will take place over the next 6 months.
