Event Summary
On 24 May 2025, Advancing Civil Society - GLOCA organized an introductory training on artificial intelligence and prompt engineering, delivered by Tamim Al Zaeem and facilitated by Mohammad Taameh. The training engaged 92 participants and focused on building basic digital skills for using AI tools effectively.
Training Focus
The session introduced participants to AI concepts, the evolution of artificial intelligence, large language models such as GPT, Claude, and Gemini, and the role of prompt engineering in improving AI-generated outputs.
Key Outputs
Participants gained a clearer understanding of AI tools and their practical applications in education, media, work, design, and content creation. They also practiced writing prompts and comparing the difference between general and well-structured instructions.
Key Learning
The training emphasized that AI is most useful when approached critically and responsibly. Participants learned that effective prompts require clarity, context, and purpose, and that AI outputs should always be reviewed and refined.
Impact
The session helped reduce hesitation toward AI tools and encouraged participants to use them creatively and responsibly in their personal, educational, and professional projects.
