AFS Youth Assembly · Global Educators Academy

We joined the Global Educators Academy at the AFS Youth Assembly and presented at the Action & Impact Hub at the World Health Organization on training trainers for AI when nobody has the playbook yet.

The question we brought

Where does a teacher find the right material to teach AI? How do you train the trainer while the trainer is still learning? How does a company reskill while it works out what AI means for its own roles? The bottleneck isn't content — it's tighter loops between learning, trying, reflecting and adapting.

What we took home

Context on how formal and informal education work across very different systems, and connections across UN ecosystems so youth communities build together instead of in parallel.
