Introduction and learning objectives
In Module 4 of the Seniors4Change e-learning programme, we will help you confidently connect with other DIY enthusiasts who share your interests through various social media platforms and showcase your projects, enhancing both your digital skills and social engagement!
By equipping you with the expertise to share your projects through social media, you will be able to connect with a wider community and enhance your technical skills. Social media can serve as a powerful tool for seniors to stay connected with family, friends, and like-minded people, helping combat isolation and promoting a sense of community and achievement.
The following learning objectives will be addressed in this Module:
- Learn about the different ways to connect with others via different social media platforms;
- How to make your content engaging through the right keywords and hashtags;
- How to identify and join groups on different social media platforms with people who share your common interests.
In this Module, you will also be able to find inspiration through suggested groups and content creators who are connecting with people on different online platforms and sharing their own DIYs.
No matter what your skill or interest is, from knitting, gardening, or potting, to furniture or appliance restoration, there are many others out there who certainly share your passion!
Additionally, by creating and communicating your own content, you will have the possibility to inspire others who have perhaps not yet considered just how significant the power of DIYs can be in the promotion of a more sustainable society for all generations.
By the end of the Module, you will better understand where and how you can connect with others and play your own part in the promotion of reducing, reusing and recycling techniques across the online world. Ready? Let’s go!
