I live in London where I fully enjoy all this city has to offer. The galleries, the theatres, and the various events.

I speak Italian and French too, and I used to be a broadcast journalist back in the day. I still love radio.

More recently I have delved into the world of faciliation, both in-person and online, like we will be training you all to do.

It's great to be able to hear different perspectives on issues. The learning never ends.

So, I very much look forward to meeting you all online and getting stuck in.

I'm Ana, one of your trainers on this course.

I'm an English language teacher at the University of Bologna Language Centre. I'm also a trained dialogue facilitator, and have volunteered with Soliya. In addition, I'm a trainer in Virtual Exchange for UNICollaborations, who are partners in this project.

Recently, I have become interested in AI and its societal impact (though I'm no expert in AI!), so I'm particularly interested this project and its critical approach.

I'm really looking forward to working with you in the coming weeks!

Hi everyone. I'm Dilora, a Master's student in Applied Economics at the University of Padova. During my Master's studies, I took courses on Digital Markets and Data Protection, which raised my awareness of the recent changes in the Digital Economy and European Legislation concerning AI, Competition and Consumer Welfare. I am particularly interested in the intersection of Digital Economics and Behavioral Decision-making (You have already tried your Ghibli-style photo, right?:).

I am originally from Uzbekistan and speak Uzbek and Russian as well.

I am looking forward to our exchange program, where I hope to dive into the world of AI and exchange my thoughts with you.

My name is Nardos, and I'm on a global mission to trick companies into being sustainable using AI.

My journey started in Ethiopia, survived a degree in Awesomeness at Bahir Dar University, then landed in Italy for my Masters at University of Padova (fuelled by espresso). I took a one-semester detour to brave a chilly Erasmus in Finland to learn sustainability from the people who invented "sisu."

Now I'm completing my traineeship in Belgium (fuelled by fries) while finishing that Masters.

My superpower? I once convinced AI to be a force for good and won the Enactus Italy National Competition for Social Impact with our AI focused project. Now I'm writing my dissertation on organizing for sustainability through AI—basically building a real-life Jarvis for the planet.

If you see me around, say hi! I'm always up for saving the world, one algorithm at a time (or just finding the best coffee). Who knows? You might even score an invite to an Ethiopian coffee ceremony. ☕️😉

Hello everyone! Nice to meet you. My name is Barbara, and I am a Brazilian currently living in Padova. I am a master's degree student in History: Mobility Studies. My final research project is about AI use among students in Higher Education. Besides that, I have been living with type one diabetes since 2004, and the development of new technologies have deeply changed my life as I manage diabetes. All in all, I am very curious in investigating the various impacts of technology use on our daily lives and how to make a wise use of it. AI is rapidly developing and changing the way we relate to ourselves, to each other, and to institutions. I want to be a facilitator because I believe we need more collective experiences with AI as it is often used individually.
