The Digital Literacy Project (DLP), a student-led initiative from Saint John’s High School, launched its first-ever workshop for seniors at the India Society of Worcester (ISW).
Over 70 members of ISW Humrahee, a community group for seniors, participated in the session, which aimed to enhance digital skills and build confidence in navigating technology.
The workshop covered practical topics such as basic device operations, online safety, and using technology to stay connected. It also included interactive components like quizzes and Q&A sessions, which allowed participants to ask questions about personal challenges they face with technology.
DLP team members worked closely with attendees, offering individualized assistance with issues ranging from troubleshooting devices to understanding storage management. The workshop also provided guidance on using technology to access essential services and maintain social connections.
One participant highlighted the value of the session, saying, “The workshop helped me understand things I struggled with, like using apps and staying safe online. The one-on-one support was very helpful.”
This inaugural workshop, described by organizers as a "critical step" in addressing the challenges seniors face in an increasingly tech-driven world, marked the beginning of a broader effort to empower those who may feel left behind.
Ayan Mishra, the CEO of the DLP, said the event demonstrated the importance of providing accessible and practical digital education for seniors. “It was encouraging to see such strong engagement and interest,” Mishra said. “This is just the start—we’re committed to expanding this effort and reaching more people.”
The DLP leadership team includes COO Aadi Jaganathan and David Wang, who oversees event coordination. The group plans to host more workshops in the future based on the feedback and success of the inaugural session.
