Our network partners are supporting people to be more safe and confident online. We know that there is a lot to prepare when planning your digital skills session or event. It’s also important to think about how you can make your session or event inclusive and welcoming for everyone in your community.
Everyone has different needs and learning styles. In our work to close the digital divide, we need to create a learning environment that is accessible to everyone so that no one gets left behind, and everyone has the opportunity to learn.
Top tip: Before you start planning your digital skills session or event, ask your learners about their accessibility needs!
We have put together a list of resources to help you plan an inclusive and welcoming digital skills session.
