Could this work in our club?
- Residents, volunteers, community organisations, partners, members and people who cannot attend place-based learning. Use when a defined audience has recurring learning needs that suit a live online format.
Before you start
- A series curriculum showing audience question, learning outcome, speaker basis and resource for each session.
- Speaker agreements covering conflicts, rights, recording, accessibility and non-partisan boundaries.
- A secure platform, captioning, dial-in option, registration notice and tested technical runbook.
At the end: Send the accessible resource pack within two business days, answer or refer remaining questions and delete registration and chat data according to the published schedule.

Are people protected?
Check privacy, consent and safety. Collect only the information you genuinely need.
Can everyone take part?

Are the facts and permissions right?
Check names, claims, images, quotations, partner references and Rotary branding.
How will we learn?
