AI Training
An introduction to AI being delivered by someone who is empathetic, to the diversity of participants, providing a historical context of where AI all began, and the systematic journey it navigated by thinkers' of yester years, and developed to next level for safe utilisation of the tool to suit people. The discussions around 'safety' of cultural Ancestral knowledge unique to ethnic and indigenous communities, the safe guarding of such IP to ensure authenticity was great. The use of language metaphors, and situations were relevant, a whole new discovery for me.

I want to express my gratitude for your excellent workshop. I must commend the way in which you delivered an exceptional learning experience. This workshop was not only very informative but also interactive, making the subject matter engaging and relatable for everyone present. The clarity with which this workshop explained advocacy stood out. Advocacy, as I came to understand, is a process of supporting or recommending a cause, idea, or policy. It often involves raising awareness, mobilizing resources, and influencing decision makers to bring about positive change. However, before attending this workshop, my understanding of advocacy was somewhat vague and fragmented. This session helped bridge that gap for me. The straightforward language and practical examples simplified even complex concepts for me to understand. Your explanation of advocacy included why it matters, its forms, and how individuals and communities can use it to change things. This clarity significantly enhanced my comprehension of the subject. Another highlight of the session was the interactive approach. You encourage open dialogue, answer questions thoughtfully, and fostered an environment where participants could share their own perspectives. This participatory method not only made the session more engaging but also allowed us to learn from one another's experiences and insights. The group activities and exercises were particularly impactful, as they reinforced key takeaways and allowed us to practice advocacy techniques in a supportive setting. By the end of the workshop, I had a much clearer understanding of what advocacy entails and how I can contribute to advocacy efforts within my own community. The knowledge and skills I gained have empowered me to feel more confident in advocating for causes I am passionate about. I left the workshop with a sense of purpose and a practical toolkit to support my advocacy efforts moving forward. Overall, this advocacy workshop was a valuable experience. The combination of clear information, practical guidance, and interactive engagement made it an enriching session. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone interested in learning how to make a difference through advocacy. My heartfelt gratitude to you for organizing such an informative workshop .
