Details
All the seminars are open to anyone who would like to attend. You can attend as
many or as few as you would like to.
Please note, however, that if you wish to progress to the next stage of the course
where we will be working with a group of older computer users, you should attend all
four sessions.
Seminars will be run by Gary Mitchell from the St Saviours Learning Centre.
Gary has worked in community development since 1992, and was involved in the Northern
Ireland Peace Process. He now runs a computer centre for older people from St
Saviours High School.
