This new community program also provides help with any specific technology queries.

There are many partners behind the technology training program.

Eden Library, the Eden Local Aboriginal Land Council (LALC) and Twofold Aboriginal Corporation (TAC) are providing the technology training.

Both Eden LALC and TAC deliver many services to the local Aboriginal community at the Monaroo-Bobberrer Gudu Keeping Place.

Chair of Eden LALC, Uncle BJ Cruse, said, "when you get older it is harder to pick up the latest technology which many young people take for granted.

"It was good to learn how to use many of the latest features of phones and computers, often necessary for our day-to-day lives," he said.

Students from Eden Marine High School also offered a helping hand.

Eden Marine High School's Aboriginal Education Officer, Stacy Muscat, said, "it was great to see young kids sit down with their elders and interact with them in their world."

The NSW State Library and Telstra are funding the technology training,

The NSW Department of Aboriginal Affairs provided Eden LALC and TAC with the IT equipment through the COVID Community Connections Project grant funding.

Eden Library hopes to hold drop-in sessions at the Monaroo-Bobberrer Gudu Keeping Place as often as monthly.

Community members may also get help with their tech enquiries from Eden Library at any time.
