E Learning @ Brampton

Celebrate UK online Family Learning Week

Brampton Business Centre is hosting a special get online day on Friday 12 October, between 10.00am and 4.00pm, advisors will be on hand to offer guidance and advice on surfing the web and using the Intranet, as part of UK online Family Learning Week.

The event is aimed at getting families to discover what the Internet could do for them. The get online day is aimed at encouraging families who don't use, have little or no access to the internet to step into their local UK online centre and discover a whole new world through the web. Designed to bring together different generations including mums, dads, aunts, uncles, grandparents and children.

There is the opportunity to win prizes up to the value of £20,000 provided by PC World for families that take up the 'Family Web Challenge' at Brampton Business Centre. The 'Family Web Challenge' is an online 'game' that introduces people to some of the things they can do on the Internet - things, which might be useful for them and their families. There are some great prizes to win these include PC, laptops, digital cameras and vouchers for family days out.

Are you ready to take up the challenge?

Cllr Peter Farmer portfolio holder for Learning and Development said:

the sessions at Brampton Business Centre are free and more importantly it doesn't matter if those wanting to pop along haven't been near a computer before. The get online day is an opportunity to dip your toe into online waters and learn how Internet could help you save time, hassle and money.

The event is supported by PC World, BT, Intel and the Campaign for Learning. Residents are being urged to try the free taster sessions at Brampton Business Centre and find out what the web can do for them.
