Participants will take part in pre-course readings, assignments after each session, and a final project to gain hands-on experience in applying AI technologies. The program combines interactive sessions, practical exercises, and real-life scenarios to equip participants with the necessary skills to incorporate AI into their respective fields, whether in civil society, youth movements, academia, government, or media.
