Wired up to Wellbeing


Wired Up to Wellbeing 2008 from Rachel Gillies on Vimeo.

For many people who have not grown up with computer technology, computers can be scary things. This film documents the progression of retired people across Yardley Constituency as they learn basic computer skills. Amongst other things, they are shown how to e-mail friends and family, contact local councillors and search the Internet for relevant information. This project transformed the lives of participants, putting them in contact with friends, family and a world of information.

For more information on the scheme you can go to the Wired Up to Wellbeing Website which outlines the different aspects of the course and has a range of online resources.  This is just one scheme devised by Flo-Joe Training and Consultants who specialise in E-Learning.
