Blogging every single day can be quite challenging, especially when you’re just starting out, trying all sorts of new things, experimenting with different types of posts. I remember quite clearly a time in my life where writing, editing, and publishing a blog post every single day was out of the question until I started slowly […]

Park View Project Community Reporters Active Learning
Alongside our in-house online courses introducing digital processes to those who are elderly and disabled , we also have a highly interactive learning tool based on adopting the perspective of a journalist. The course is staged covering all aspects of using digital including basic communication skills and personal development. It involves taking on an assignment where you produce a story, feature or article about something happening in your local community. It could be an event, introducing a support group, a local neighbourhood initiative or anything as long as it is legal, decent, honest and truthful.
To help you with gathering all the material from interviews and editing you can call on our volunteer Online Chum Mentors to help you in your endeavour. This is a free course and one we hope participants will not just enjoy but find inclusive to their learning.

Will our current state of emergency lead to a new future for digital processes?
There is much hype about how there will be no resumption of services as we once new them. This covers all aspects of life. We at Park View Project work with vulnerable individuals and groups who are on the digital periphery and at best struggle with the day-to-day challenges faced on a number of fronts. Security and safety are paramount to empowering individuals to take control over their digital footprint. Are there likely to be issues arising as technology forges ahead? How do we continue to ensure our members flourish? There are no doubt many unanswered questions that need to be addressed. In the meantime here is a link to NESTA, which is a synopsis of what to expect.

Taking stock of the digital support you may need can be at the expense of your privacy!
I don’t have a ‘digital assistant’. But my wife used to have ‘Google Assistant’ active on her phone. She liked that it allowed her to ask her phone a question, without having to type it in. Many people love their ‘Amazon Alexa’, using it to do many things in their lives, especially to remind them […]

Disability Hate Crime – Time for action!
Has there ever been a more pressing time for inclusivity? With divisions rippling their ugly affects all across the globe, stemming from political differences and social injustices, a healthy dose of tolerance and acceptance is just the antidote we require. I fear, however, we’re a long way off it. In a BBC article published online […]
