Partnerships with service and community organisations assist with co-designing strategies and developing educational programs so that older adults develop strong digital skills for improved health and wellbeing.
Associate Professor Bernardo Figueiredo spoke to journalist Mitch Ziems in an article published in the Institute of Community Directors Australia, about the importance of partnerships in delivering digital competency outcomes for older adults and how Shaping Connections are providing resources and research to assist in bridging the digital divide.
Bernardo says partnerships with experts from universities like RMIT as well as social organisations like computer clubs and the University of the Third Age, are crucial to the provision of accessible, judgement-free environments where seniors can develop required technical skills.

Dissemination Workshops
