14-20 October is Get Online Week in Ceredigion

Get Online Week – the UK’s biggest annual campaign to get people using the internet - will take place from 14 - 20 October and people from Ceredigion are being urged to get involved. Whether you want to get connected, get a job, get healthy or get a bargain, using the internet can make everything quicker and easier.

This October, people in Ceredigion can find out how getting online could save them time, hassle and even money. A series of ‘Click Club’ sessions are being organised across Ceredigion.

These informal drop-in sessions will introduce people to the basics of getting online and will also troubleshoot any problems people may have been experiencing. In Aberaeron on 18 October, a session will be delivered for novices who want to know more about using tablet devices such as iPads.

The sessions are being run by Communities 2.0, the Welsh Government’s digital inclusion initiative, which is funded by the European Regional Development Fund.

Local Communities 2.0 Broker Karlis Ozolins said: “Being online is a vital part of the modern world, whether it’s saving money, accessing services or keeping in touch. Our sessions during Get Online Week are designed for people who have never been online before or want to learn more and are friendly, informal and fun. So even if you’ve always thought the internet is not for you, why not come along and find out what it’s all about. What have you got to lose?”
