Website of the week – BBC Connect

The BBC has announced the launch of BBC First Click campaign to help people get online.

BBC Connect is the website that will show you how to get involved, how to get other people involved and how to organise a ‘First Click’ session at your premises.

It provides information on the basics of using the internet and provides a phone number that you can call to discover where your nearest training session is being held.

The Communities 2.0 project run by the Wales Co-operative Centre in the guise of the Click.Connect.Discover campaign is a partner to BBC First Click in Wales.
