Digital Skills Workshops
JFA Purple Orange is delivering a series of digital skills workshops for people with disability, funded through the South Australian Government’s Digital Inclusion grants program.
Running from late 2025 to early 2026, the workshops focus on digital advocacy, storytelling, and building a professional online presence. They have been co-designed with a diverse group of people with disability to ensure they are accessible, practical, and relevant.
The project aims to
- Strengthen digital storytelling and self-advocacy skills
- Build confidence using social media and professional platforms
- Support online safety and positive digital engagement
- Provide opportunities for participants to create and share their own content
- Facilitate peer connection through a shared online space
