🌐 Empowering the community, one connection at a time🌐 In July, our team had a blast with our partner Digital Seniors at community pop-up hubs, supporting seniors with one-on-one coaching through their tech needs. From setting up email accounts, to helping with smartphone navigation to saving precious family photos, and more – we saw first-hand how improving digital literacy and building confidence can make a real impact. This collaboration is just the beginning. Mark your calendars for the first-ever Digital Seniors Tech Expo on 10 November in Auckland 🎉 Designed with seniors, for seniors, the expo is a showcase of how digital technology can support an active, healthy, and connected lifestyle. We’re proud to be a platinum sponsor of the expo and supporting more seniors on their digital technology journey. For more info, head here: https://lnkd.in/gSmke55c
