Digital Capacities
Knowing how to use computers and information technologies is increasingly becoming vital for accessing life opportunities, such as employment, business, storytelling and education. The Social Innovation Hub offers several courses on various computer-related skills.
Our activities address access to the skills, confidence and motivation to use technologies and are designed to be applied in the real world to make daily tasks more efficient.
This involves equipping participants with the skills they need to use mobile devices, computers and the internet. We have various activities targeting various computer skill levels.
