IT Exchange

"I have benefited from attend the IT Exchange project at in so many ways, gaining new skills on my tablet and mobile phone. Now I am doing attachments, pictures, emails, and online shopping. I have benefited so much having that one to one with the student who was enthusiastic to teach me and enjoyed talking to me."

"We have both learned from each other from technology to daily life. And the only major difference we've found in each other is that one of us has been around longer than the other!" 

"The whole experience was a learning experience not only for my older person, but also for me. The sessions were fun and allowed me to gain some valuable life skills. It helped me to become a more patient, outgoing and confident person." 

"I have enjoyed the course tremendously, being 70 years old, the interaction with the sixth form student has been extremely helpful. I have found them to be polite, patient and attentive to my needs. I looked forward to my weekly sessions. Thank you once again, for helping us to develop not only our self esteem but our IT knowledge."

“Both the older people and the young people benefitted from this project. We shared our experience with each other. It was sheer joy attending this IT session. My volunteer was so patient and enthusiastic and eager to share her knowledge. It was the little things we both got great joy out of and truly bridging the age and learning gap.”
