Help the BBC help everybody else.
A message from Claire Dunn, BBC …
The BBC is co-ordinating a campaign around ‘Get Online Week’ which is 18 to 22 October 2010. We are keen to generate stories at a national level, as well as at a local level and to this end, we are seeking case studies for each of the different regions around the UK. This is where we are asking for your help, as we are trying to find around 6 case studies for each of our local radio stations.
Some examples of the kind of ‘case studies’ we are looking for:
- Individuals who have only just finished a beginners’ computer course so we can talk to them about what were their fears and concerns before completing the course.
- Any special success stories.
- Individuals who have been coming along to course for a while and are now very competent. They are really happy on the internet and would recommend other people to learn how.
Best wishes, Claire.
So … please consider getting involved in this if you are willing to be interviewed by a local BBC radio station during September or October. The BBC are not expecting spectacular stories — they just want to hear from older people who are new to the Internet, or whose lives have been changed for the better by using it.
Unfortunately, their deadline is close — Friday 4 September 2010!
If you can help, please email acc@lawns.org.uk (or phone 020 7254 2183) with your name, postal address and phone number to be passed to Claire at the BBC. If you prefer, you can contact Claire directly — her phone number is 0208 008 1105, and her email address is claire.dunn1@bbc.co.uk .
