Digital Champion Tea and Tech - What do you want to learn

Digital Champion training for July – What do you want to learn, and feedback session. Your chance to have your say on what topics we cover in our Tea and Tech sessions! From the NHS app to library services, from Apple or Android skills to avoiding scams – where do you want to brush up your skills? What have learners asked you for this year? Chat to us about what you think of our face to face and hybrid ‘Tea and Tech’ sessions. Do you prefer our training on Learn Worlds, or like meeting in person? We’ll also be asking for your feedback on your volunteering experience with us, your chance to discuss what works, or doesn’t work for you. We’ll use these suggestions to improve, and to plan next year’s Tea and Tech sessions. RSVP to Clara essential so we know numbers!
