This week was the final Digital-Drop In workshop of the pilot series.
Over a total of six workshops, older adult participants have engaged with volunteer mentors from TY to exchange and develop digital skills across a variety of digital devices and applications.
Whether a novice or an improver, the one-to-one learning exchange meant that participants truly engaged in the principles of intergenerational learning: learning from one another, learning with one another, learning about one another.
A nice close out was the presentation of certificates of participation by mentors to their learners.
Well done to everyone involved and we look forward to developing a library of resources from the content we covered to share more widely in the spring.
Many thanks to Mr. Anton O’ Mahony, Mr Conor Uhl, Ms Orla O’Sullivan for organising and Dr. Sandra Flynn for facilitating.
