Upcoming events

These are planned sessions with practical agendas. Details are written to reduce guesswork: expected duration, participation format, and what will happen after registration. If you need an accommodation (captioning, mobility access, or a quieter participation path), you can request it during registration or by contacting us directly.

Digital Safety Basics: Password Managers and Safer Sharing

A structured, beginner-friendly session that focuses on routine habits: setting up a password manager, creating unique credentials, and sharing access without sending sensitive information in open chats. The run-of-show includes a short demo, a checklist, and a moderated Q&A so questions stay readable.

How to Run a Small Learning Group: A Simple Agenda That Works

This session is about coordination, not grand speeches. We walk through a low-friction agenda (10–20–20), a shared note template, and a moderation approach that keeps discussion on-topic. It’s useful for volunteer organizers, library-based learning circles, and anyone facilitating a recurring group without turning it into another social feed.

The focus is on a simple responsibility matrix, an update cadence, and a cancellation policy that respects people’s time.

Recent sessions and summaries

Past events are useful when they leave a trail: a checklist, a short recap, and a few links that people can apply immediately. We publish summaries in the Resources section when there’s something concrete to share. The language stays plain, and we avoid publishing personal details from Q&A or discussion threads.

Many sessions use a repeatable facilitation format: a short framing, a guided walkthrough, then a moderated Q&A. It’s unglamorous, but it works. It also makes accessibility easier because participants know when breaks happen, how questions are handled, and where follow-up materials will be posted.

What to expect after you register

  • A confirmation email with time zone, format, and any preparation notes.
  • A short resource pack when relevant (agenda, checklist, or links).
  • Clear moderation rules so discussion stays focused and respectful.
  • No posting of personal contact details in public. Logistics are shared by email.

Highlights from recent topics

Inclusive online participation

Facilitator prompts that reduce cross-talk, plus a simple “raise a question” queue. Useful for large time-zone mixes and for sessions where people prefer text questions.

Practical checklists

Templates that turn “I should do this” into three to five concrete tasks. We prefer short, repeatable lists over long essays.

Local meetups without oversharing

Venue and coordination details are shared after registration so public pages remain useful without publishing personal information.
