Free Canva Training
Free online Canva training is being offered by Roger Carter, who runs courses for the national u3a. Canva can be used to create posters, flyers, newsletters, cards, presentations, social-media graphics, videos, edit photos and much more. You can use Canva for free but even better, u3as can apply for a licence to access Canva Pro through its not-for-profit scheme.
The course will be held on Zoom, starting on Thursday 24 September at 10.00am, and will run every Thursday for six weeks. It is open to u3a members across the North West. If you are interested, email Jacky at letsgomeolsu3a@gmail.com before 12th September, minimum of 20 participants required. Click for Programme: CANVA

u3a Workshops
The Third Age Trust has developed workshops in partnership with u3a members to provide support, information and advice for all u3a members. The workshops are delivered online using Zoom by Trust volunteers who bring their experience as Trustees, u3a Chairs and Committee members. And they are free.

Help with Presentations
Are you thinking of doing a presentation to one of our u3a groups, face-to-face or online but feeling a little uncertain about how to go about it? Would you like to have a go but the idea of delivering to an audience puts you off?
Or perhaps you hesitate because you don't feel you can set up a display or a slide show presentation? Are you not sure how to get source material for presentations?
We offer small group/individual workshops in an informal setting. You will be able to develop your topic, put together a presentation and practise it with hints, tips and advice given on delivering your talk.
If you would like to know more, contact Newslink Editor or speak to your group leader and ask them to pass on your details.
