"I thought I'd share a few of my experiences of introducing and teaching older people how to use computers in my role as a team leader in the Computer Classes section at Age UK Knowsley & West Mersey. I hope it will be of use to some of you, and please feel free to add some tips of your own."

Participle's vision is radical: public services which offer all citizens a fair chance to realise their potential. For citizens to have this chance, it is not enough for society to present them merely with opportunities. There must be a shared commitment to developing citizens' capabilities, so that all can acquire the skills necessary to seize and shape opportunities. At Participle, we do two things: Firstly, bring together the widespread community level ideas and creative activity, and mix it with world-leading experts in any given field; Secondly, drive forward thoughts and actions around developing a new social settlement which can deal with the big social issues of our time.
