The benefits of learningOne of our members, Joe, talks about a recent course he did at Mosaic and our Digital Inclusion project. In the photo he is holding a dish he made at a pottery course run by Mud Gang Pottery that a number of our members attended. Before the Customer Service and Reception course I was nervous about what to expect. I was filled with anxiety as I find mistakes hard to deal with. It has given me confidence to use a laptop and a computer which I lacked skills in for a number of years. It’s given me the opportunity to broaden my mind and improve my mental health into achieving something in life. I can’t wait to study Level 2, which I’m doing at the Stockwell centre (Morley College). I’m able to enjoy life again and education is a big part of that. "We all make mistakes in life, but it can always be mended." I also got a laptop through the Digital Inclusion project at Mosaic. The laptop has been more than helpful in doing the course, I do my coursework and practice work on it so when I go to college I’m more comfortable to use their system. The course also gets me out the house and gives me something to look forward to each week.
I’ve gained confidence to talk to people and relate to my mental health, cause I can see I’m not alone. I’d definitely encourage others to take courses like this. It’s hard, but it’s worth it! We all make mistakes in life, but it can always be mended. |
