Grateful to have facilitated the PLS on Exploring #AITools for Effective #Fundraising and #Management.

It was encouraging to see the level of engagement and curiosity from participants as we explored practical tools, and reflected on how they can strengthen our fundraising.

@UNESCO_MGIEP Interested for this great opportunity!

AI & new technologies are reshaping how we build peace. When used ethically, they can counter misinformation and amplify youth voices

I facilitated a session on #MIL, #YPS, and AI nexus, training 30 youth from universities and youth-led orgs on how to use AI to promote peace.

On 7 Feb, I joined the National Youth Forum under the theme Next Gen Burundi: Reinventing Our Sectors, Reinventing Our Opportunities.
The energy, ideas, and determination of young people showed that youth are not just tomorrow’s leaders; they are building change today.

Key takeaway from today's sessions: Fundraising isn't just about writing grant proposals; it's about building relationships, engaging stakeholders, and creating sustainable support for your mission.

I am happy to share that I recently participated in a week long advocacy training workshop, where we learned the effective ways for conducting an advocacy, which will also help advocate for young people's matters. On the last day of the training, I got a certificate of training.

En parallèle, des discussions ont été amorcées pour la création d’une coalition nationale JPS au Burundi, conçue comme un espace de collaboration durable, d’apprentissage entre pairs, et d’influence politique portée par et pour les jeunes.

[Franck Young @FranckYoung5]

Durant la formation sur l'usage de l'IA, on a analysé d’exemples réels de manipulation via l’IA (deepfakes, bots, IA générative).

[Franck Young @FranckYoung5]

Pendant les travails des groupes, on a fait le Brainstorming en groupe – Imaginer des projets où l’IA pourrait être un levier pour la paix et la cohésion sociale au Burundi.
