Email, apps, mobile devices. From online banking to identifying scams and phishing tactics, our Better Digital Futures courses are the perfect way to step into using the internet with confidence.

What is Better Digital Futures?

Better Digital Futures classes are designed specifically for older adults and seniors (ages 65 plus) who would like to build their confidence using the internet and online services.

We deliver these courses several times a year in partnership with the Digital Inclusion Alliance Aotearoa (DIAA).

What can participants expect from the course?
  • a small, in-person class at Central Library hosted by Upper Hutt Libraries staff
  • hands-on practice using digital devices with step-by-step help and support
  • takeaway printed resources to revise and continue learning at home

We encourage participants to bring their own mobile device. If you don’t have one, you can borrow a Library Chromebook for free during each class.

Connect, learn, and stay safe online

Digital technology has gifted us the opportunity to stay connected with family, whānau, and friends across the country and overseas.

Better Digital Futures is here to provide a space to learn practical skills you can use every day – from staying in touch with the important people in your life to catching up on the news or ordering your groceries online.
