02 — Post-Digital Educators — Child-Centred Participatory Methodologies
Certified training · 6h · In-person
Accredited training by the Scientific-Pedagogical Council for Continuing Education for educators and teachers from pre-school to secondary level.

03 — Co-creating with AI — Design Thinking & Humanistic AI
Workshop · 2h-2h30 · In-person or online
How can we incorporate AI into our design thinking process — not just as a tool, but as a collaborator?

Workshop · Half-day or full-day or 10h+ · In-person or online
A practical workshop for creative agencies, teams and educators that want to integrate AI into their daily workflows — not as a replacement for creativity, but as an accelerator. Participants explore AI tools applied to their specific briefs, processes and teaching contexts, developing a critical and ethical approach that avoids risks around misinformation, intellectual property and bias. Teams and educators leave with concrete workflows ready to implement.
