About NetSavvy
In an age of information overload, fast-changing technology, artificial intelligence and growing cyberthreats, knowing what to believe and keeping yourself safe online may seem overwhelming. But at NetSavvy we equip internet users with the knowledge and skills to do exactly that – no tech background required.
We host a variety of digital literacy, and online safety, security and privacy workshops and talks, helping you to spot false information, and become scam-savvy and hard to hack.
At NetSavvy, we want to make digital literacy and online safety accessible to everyone, regardless of technical background. We have learnt that there are excellent tools and techniques freely available to internet users that don't require you to be an IT boffin and are relatively easy to use.
Book a workshop
We host hands-on workshops aimed at a variety of internet and social media users – from students and working professionals to older adults who only started using the internet in their late 30s or 40s. As part of our packages, we provide you with resources and how-to guides to ensure that you stay safe online well after attending our workshops.
