Online Skills Webinar

2nd March 2021

11am – 12.3pm

Register Here

With the onset of the COVID-19 alert last year, most social interaction and work meetings had to be moved online.
All GCCN meetings are currently being held remotely on Zoom and this might represent a challenge for some GCCN members who are still adapting to the new online reality.

GCCN will hold regular Online Skills Webinars during 2021 to support the members who wish to engage in the GCCN remote meetings but are having some difficulties with Zoom. Additionally, some information will be provided on how to safely share files online.

Please note:
For this training to go ahead, the number of attendees will need to be a minimum of four and a maximum of six.
If the number of attendees is less than four, the training will be re-scheduled.
If the number of attendees is greater than six, a second session will be organised to accommodate the extra people as soon as possible.

Further training on the use of Social Media can be organised upon request. If interested in this, please contact communications@gccn.ie.

Come along to the GCCN Induction and find out more about Galway City Community Network and how you, as a GCCN member, can become more involved and actively influence decision making structures in Galway City.

All GCCN members are invited to attend, with a special emphasis being placed on those who joined GCCN since September 2020.

The GCCN Induction is open to all GCCN members, old and new, that have an interest in learning more about GCCN and what being a GCCN member means.

This event is the perfect opportunity to do some remote networking with other member organisations and also meet some current GCCN representatives. You will be able to find out how you are represented on local structures and how you can have a say in the decisions that affect you and your community.
