FREE Escape to Europe Virtual Experience

Take a virtual holiday with us! 

Date: Wednesday 20th October 
Time: 10:30 am - 12:00 pm
Cost: FREE 

We could all do with an escape at the moment, so to celebrate Get Online Week we’re hosting a FREE virtual holiday experience for over 50’s!

We’ll take you to three mystery countries online and will be showing you some amazing sights and experiences in Europe from the comfort of your own home. We’ll also share excellent tools and free resources for exploring the world online using the Be Connected website.

This event is a great opportunity to expand your digital skills, connect online with people in your local community and have a much-needed online escape!

As part of your virtual holiday, you’ll receive a special ‘In Flight Refreshments Pack’ delivered to your home (contactless delivery) so you can enjoy some treats as we travel! You will need to provide your home address to receive this special pack (within Newcastle or Lake Macquarie). 

Please note this event will be held via ZOOM and is specifically for people aged 50 and over who live in Newcastle and Lake Macquarie. We will provide basic instructions for joining us on Zoom. If you are new to Zoom and would like some support before the event, please let us know, we are happy to help.

Please only register for this event if you truly intend to participate online, there are only 15 spots available on our virtual trip.
To register get your FREE Eventbrite ticket here and a Zoom meeting invite will be sent to your email address before the event.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us via email at programs@theplacecharlestown.org.au or on (02) 4032 5505.
We hope you can join us for a fabulous virtual adventure on the 20th of October!
