As part of Get Online Week 2025, the Greek Community of Melbourne and Victoria will proudly join Good Things Foundation’s national campaign to close the digital divide and empower people to feel safer, more confident and included in the online world.

Between 20–26 October 2025, the Greek Community will host a series of free digital skills workshops in Greek for adults agedaged 50 and above. These sessions will offer hands-on support to help participants use technology with confidence, from navigating smartphones and tablets to managing online safety and accessing essential digital services.

Get Online Week is a national celebration of digital inclusion, encouraging people of all ages and backgrounds to improve their digital literacy, connect with others, and thrive in an increasingly online society.

Mrs. Christina Soumi, Digital Mentor of the Greek Community Schools, stated: “Technology should be accessible to everyone. Through these workshops, we aim to ensure our older community members feel confident, connected, and included in the digital world. At the same time, involving our students in these sessions fosters valuable intergenerational connections, where young people can share their knowledge, develop empathy, and strengthen community bonds across generations.” For more information and to find your nearest session, please visit the Greek Community of Melbourne’s website or contact the head office.
