โจ Sharing impressions from our participants!
We recently held the training course "Inside the Algorithm: AI Impact on Mental Health" in Armenia. Here's what our participant had to say:
๐ฌ
I participated in this training course, which took place from 12 to 19 January 2025 in Tsaghkadzor, Armenia.
The training focused on the impact of artificial intelligence on mental health, especially in the context of youth work. During the week, we explored how AI can influence young people's emotions, identity, behavior, and overall well-being, as well as the ethical challenges related to digital tools. ๐ง
The sessions were very well organized and interactive. In the first days, we focused on getting to know each other and building a safe learning environment. In the following days, we worked more deeply on topics such as digital stress, online vulnerability, emotional intelligence, ethical use of AI, and how to talk about AI and mental health with young people. ๐ฌ
One of the highlights was the study visit to the TUMO Center in Yerevan. It was very inspiring and showed practical examples of how technology can be used in a creative and positive way with young people. ๐
The group was very motivated and mature, which made the discussions more interesting and meaningful. The facilitators were always available, supportive, and clear in their explanations, which helped create a very positive learning experience. ๐ค
Overall, this training course was a very valuable experience. I gained new knowledge, practical tools, and a better understanding of how to address mental health topics in an AI-driven world. I will use what I learned in my future work with young people and in my local context. ๐
