Empowering Communities Through Digital Literacy
We’re thrilled to share that Collective Leisure has recently been awarded three digital inclusion grants through our valued partners at Good Things Australia. These grants will allow us to deliver vital programs that support seniors, young people, and refugee and migrant women to build digital skills and confidence.
Through the Be Connected initiative, we will work closely with 30 seniors, helping them navigate the digital world safely and independently. From sending emails and using social media to accessing essential online services, our aim is to empower every participant to thrive in today’s digital environment.
In parallel, we’re launched an exciting youth mentorship program engaging 100 young people to become digital mentors. These young leaders will support older Australians while developing their own communication and leadership skills. Together, they will bridge generational divides and foster a shared learning experience grounded in respect and collaboration.
We’re also proud to deliver Digital Sisters, a targeted program supporting 40 refugee and migrant women. This initiative helps women build digital literacy, boost their confidence, and strengthen their connections within the Australian community.
A warm welcome to Khujesta Qeyam, our newly appointed instructor to deliver. A recently arrived migrant from Afghanistan, Khujesta brings a deep passion for digital education and speaks six languages: Dari, Pashto, Urdu, Hindi, Uzbek, and English. Her inclusive and culturally responsive approach ensures a welcoming learning space for all participants.
Under Khujesta’s guidance and with the strength of our wider team, we’re committed to creating accessible, empowering, and engaging digital learning opportunities across Western Sydney.
We look forward to sharing more as we continue to build digital confidence and inclusion in the community.
