Learning a Skill: Kieran Yates talks to Colin

What happens when you learn new technology in your seventies?

Journalist Kieran Yates hears from people who have taught themselves new skills as adults and overcome fears or hesitation.

In this programme, Kieran speaks to Colin Brien who, in his seventies, is entering the world of technology and learning how to stay connected.

Kieran meets Colin at a community hub in Romford and hears how technology has opened up the world for him, enabling him to keep in touch with friends and family. Colin tells how learning to dance has seen him through lockdown and Kieran asks him if he can inspire her to get on a bike - something she's still learning to do.
