AI for Social Change: practical AI skills for NGOs and civil society

Part of AI for Social Change, coordinated by TechSoup with support from Google.org to help civil society use AI responsibly.

Our workshop in Kenya gives NGOs, community and civic-tech organisations and social enterprises a practical, non-technical grounding: prompt engineering, how generative AI works, AI-assisted research and workflows, information integrity, digital safety, deepfakes and scams. Participants bring a real challenge to work on, with human judgment and verification in charge.

Critical Voices: journalists countering digital disinformation and online GBV

A two-day workshop on 17–18 July 2025 in Dar es Salaam, organised by the Tanzania Media Women's Association (TAMWA) with #defyhatenow through GAPI, and funded by GIZ, ahead of Tanzania's October 2025 general election.

Journalists trained in fact-checking, online safety, safe use of AI and peace-building reporting. Sessions covered how to verify content (who said it, when, in what context and why), how old material is recycled as current news, and the rise of hate speech against women standing for office.
