The National Library Board (NLB) is organising a two-day event in March called Silver Digital Talents, as part of NLB’s Digital Readiness initiative to introduce seniors to technology in a conducive setting. Held at the National Library Building’s open Plaza on March 2 and 3 from 9am to 6.30pm, the event will have eight sessions of the main programme and six sessions of public talks.

During the two-hour main programme, participants can learn photo-editing, movie-making and digital drawing. After completion, the participants receive a free physical copy of the e-book they created and a digitally-enhanced photo of themselves. Participants can only register for one session of the main programme as one of the following characters – Culinary Champion, Exercise Enthusiast, Singing Superstar, or Trendy Traveller.

The public talks include topics on Making Stories with Mobile Photography, Authoring a Story Digitally, and Travel and Create with Movies App. Registration for the main programme and public talks are required.
