Regular webinars
Our regular webinars are typically held monthly and are specifically designed for members of the Be Connected Network. Come along to learn more about our programs and how to support people to learn digital skills. We also run helpful and interactive sessions about CaptureIT so you know what to do when it comes time to report on your grants.
Our regular webinars are best viewed live as we have a number of interactive components and include information about our active programs and grants. Due to this, we are unable to offer recordings of these sessions.
Join this interactive webinar to learn about Good Things Foundation's Be Connected Network! You will find out more about the digital divide and how you can take action to support digitally excluded people in your community.
This webinar is perfect for people getting started with Be Connected and our other digital skills programs. We will help you get familiar with all the supports available to start your programs and answer any questions you may have.

These webinars are typically only open to members of our Network, and are about special interest topics that we think you'll love!
Community of Practice: An update by eSafety on the testing of machine translations.
In the May Community of Practice session, eSafety team will present a trail on how to deliver translations on the Be Connected website. The idea is to discuss the approach to the trial and where it might lead us in the future. We’d love to hear your feedback and answer your questions about this relevant topic.
