Community-based digital for older people
Updated 3 October 2023
Our learning sessions are for small groups of older people, focussing together on one topic that is important to them.
We think Groupwork is a better way to describe what we do — it differentiates us from the common Adult Education model, in which everything is predictable and pre-plannned, with an abrupt ending for learners. Our Groupwork is co-designed, co-produced and delivered entirely by older people — and can be followed up at our weekly Digital Drop-in.
