You're Not Behind. You're Discerning. AI Literacy for Thoughtful Professionals.

Build real AI literacy, a clear stance on AI and personal framework so you can decide how to engage with AI in a way that protects your expertise, your standards, and your way of thinking.

Course Overview

Everyone around you seems to have a take on AI: adopt it fast, fear it deeply, or act like it isn't happening.

This course is for the people who haven't bought any of those options. You're thoughtful, you're experienced in your field, and you're not interested in tools that strip the human out of work you spent years learning to do well. What you want is clarity: on what AI actually is, what it can and genuinely can’t do, and where you stand on it.

Over five sessions, we move together from noise to solid understanding. You'll build real AI literacy rooted in your own values and your own work, without giving up the judgment, care, and human essence that makes what you do matter.

By the end, you won't just "know more" about AI. You'll know exactly where you stand on it, when to use it, when to question it, what you choose to keep fully human and why that matters too.

*No technical background required

Who Is This Course For?

This course was designed for three kinds of people:

  • The seasoned practitioner who has spent years building expertise in a deeply human field and is watching AI move in without anyone asking their permission or their opinion. They don't want to be left behind, but they're not willing to adopt tools uncritically just because everyone else is moving fast.
  • The thoughtful leader inside a nonprofit, NGO, or social-impact organization who is being asked to make decisions about AI - for their team, their programs, their clients - without support or frameworks that reflect their values. They need solid literacy, not hype, and not a vendor pitch.
  • The curious adopter who knows they're not against AI in principle, but hasn't found an entry point that respects both their intelligence and their skepticism. They've been waiting for a conversation that starts from the human, not the machine.

What You'll Learn

  • Real AI literacy. A clear, jargon-free understanding of what AI is, how it works, where it comes from, and where it actually falls short. Not a technical degree. Enough to stop nodding along and start asking the right questions.
  • A decision framework you'll actually use. A way of evaluating any AI tool, claim, or adoption question through what matters most in your work. Built during the course. Usable for weeks after.
  • Your AI Stance. A written, personal position that reflects your values, your field, and your intentional choices about where you will and won't bring AI into your practice. Something you get to define and write, not something handed to you.
  • A cohort that sharpens your thinking. Five weeks alongside practitioners from different fields asking the same hard questions. That cross-pollination is often what people remember most.

Real-World Project

Capstone: Your Personal AI Operating System, that you build throughout the course, piece by piece: - Your Stance Statement is a one-page articulation of where you actually stand: what you understand AI to be, what you value that it can't replicate, and the principles that will guide your decisions about it. Written in your voice, for your context. - Your Decision Filter is five to eight questions you run any AI tool or adoption decision through before saying yes or no. You build it from your own values and test it against real situations from your work during the course. - Your First AI Tool is a simple, practical agent or workflow - built with guidance in the final session five - that does one specific thing you've decided is worth automating in your work. This part is opt-in. If you go through this course and decide AI has no place in your practice right now, that's a legitimate outcome. But if you want to leave with something you built yourself, you will.

Designing for Liberation: Tools, Methods, and Pathways for Just Futures

This course is an invitation to imagine and build equitable, liberatory futures – starting with ourselves. Rooted in decolonial, feminist, and community-based knowledge systems, learners will examine their positionality, power, and purpose in today’s world, exploring how personal transformation can lead to systemic change. Unlike traditional leadership or social change programs, this course blends deep self-inquiry with real-world application, integrating inner-led transformation, trauma-informed practices, and the power of storytelling, imagination, and joy as tools for liberation. Together, we move beyond critique and into visionary practice – grounded in care, hope, and solidarity.

The World on our Plates: Culture, Politics, and Food Systems

This course takes as its starting point something we all need in order to survive - food - and examines how the personal is entwined with the social and the political. It must be clear this is not a course on “clean” eating or dieting - rather, it aims to examine how our individual choices are shaped by the larger food systems around us. Together, we will examine the various systems and processes leading to the food that ends up on our plates - where it comes from, what it is made up of, who is involved in putting it together - to reflect on larger questions around culture, cuisine, and community. Figuratively speaking, we are less interested in the breaking of bread than in the actual baking of bread. That is to say, whilst the symbolic and cultural elements of food are generally known, this course aims to focus squarely on the material dimensions of how food is made. We will consider how questions around labour, migration, race & gender, coloniality, capitalism and the climate crisis are wrapped up in the production of food. Together, we'll consider how our choices around the food we consume are shaped by the larger social and political contexts we are a part of. We'll see how these contexts affect our lives - not just nutritionally, but socially and environmentally as well. Our weekly sessions will culminate in a bread-making workshop led by Josefina Venegas Meza, a professional baker & pastry chef who has worked in some of London's best kitchens. In addition to acquiring a practical and valuable skill, we intend this practise-based session to function as an opportunity to personally reflect on the various topics we've covered together, and how they might apply in our individual lives. You will also receive a comprehensive and exclusive bread-making handbook with all the essential information you might need to refer back to should you wish to continue baking in future.
