In today’s increasingly digital world, young people need more than just access to technology—they need the skills, understanding, and support to use it safely and effectively. This webinar will explore why digital literacy is essential for youth wellbeing, safety, and opportunity, and what role small charities can play in supporting this.
Featuring expert guest speakers from the fields of digital education, youth work, and online safety, the session will provide practical insights, case studies, and strategies.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask questions and share experiences in an open Q&A.

• Culture Connects: Using Culture and the Arts to bridge the digital divide – to register click here. (7th October)

This online webinar will explore the unique role that arts and culture can play in supporting digital inclusion—especially for individuals and communities who may face barriers to accessing or using technology. By drawing on creativity, storytelling, and cultural expression, organisations can create meaningful and enjoyable pathways into digital learning that build confidence, curiosity, and connection.

The session will feature expert guest speakers sharing current research, practical examples, and case studies that demonstrate how arts and culture-based approaches are helping people of all ages and backgrounds to develop essential digital skills. Whether through participatory art projects, creative workshops, or community rooted initiatives, you’ll gain insight into how these methods are being used to close the digital divide in imaginative ways.

There will also be time for questions and open discussion, offering space for reflection and the sharing of experiences. This event is ideal for those working in small charities, arts organisations, and community initiatives who are interested in innovative, people-centred approaches to digital inclusion.
