Youth Workers Australia Youth Workers Australia is a professional association for Youth Workers. For terms of use please see our YWA Facebook Community Guidelines

For many years the profession of youth work did not have an association that represented youth practitioners as its core business. This was identified by the sector as a major gap in recognizing the distinct professional knowledge, skills, and specific expertise of Youth Workers. In Victoria and in other states of Australia Youth Workers have been organizing and discussing the necessity of having a distinct youth work association, and because of this hard work, Youth Workers Australia is now in existence.

First off the ranks in this years professional development opportunities is "Leveraging AI and ChatGPT for Youth Work" for those who want to learn how to use AI tools in their practice.

In this two-hour workshop, you'll learn the basics of AI and explore various AI tools. While we will focus on using ChatGPT by OpenAI, we will also cover Gemini by Google, and CoPilot by Microsoft, as well as image, audio, and video AI engines. You'll also delve into the ethical implications of using AI in youth settings.

During the workshop, you'll understand AI fundamentals, formulate effective queries and prompts, navigate ethical considerations, and apply AI tools in planning activities for and with young people. The workshop is divided into five parts, each with a different learning goal and format, and includes hands-on exploration of popular AI models.

We'll focus on ChatGPT, which can generate realistic and engaging conversations based on a given topic or prompt. You'll try out ChatGPT with different topics and scenarios, and discuss how it can be used to facilitate dialogue, reflection, and creativity among young people, as well as a tool for your day-to-day practice as a youth worker.

By the end of the workshop, you'll have an understanding of the current state of AI and its potential, and have generated a detailed plan for a youth work session or project using AI tools. You'll also have access to resources for further learning about AI and its applications in youth work. Don't miss this opportunity to enhance your skills and integrate AI tools into your youth work practice.

The first of a number of workshops over the year for youth workers who want to learn how to use AI tools in their practice.
