Digital Inclusion Workshops

QDN is running a series of Digital Inclusion support workshops in New Farm. These workshops are supporting people with disability to develop their digital literacy skills and understanding.

Being online and staying connected is especially important during emergencies and natural disasters. Our workshops will be delivered by the QDN Digital Inclusion team and Digital Champions – local community leaders with lived experience of disability. Bring your fully charged phone, tablet or phone and any additional support you need!
