About this Event
Emotional Literacy in an AI World
A Creative Workshop for Adolescents Aged 13–17
AI is getting smarter. But what about our understanding of ourselves?
Artificial intelligence can create images, answer questions and recommend what to do next. But can it tell us how we really feel, what matters to us, or who we want to become?
As AI becomes an increasingly familiar part of everyday life, the ability to understand ourselves, navigate emotions and connect meaningfully with others is more important than ever.
Welcome to a 90-minute creative workshop exploring the human skills that technology cannot replace.
Through art-making, collage and guided reflection, adolescents are invited to explore their emotions, identity, values and personal strengths in a relaxed, supportive and non-judgemental environment.
Whether navigating friendships, academic pressure, social expectations or the everyday uncertainties of growing up, this workshop offers an opportunity to pause, reflect and discover practical ways to manage emotions and reconnect with themselves.
🎨 What You'll Explore
In this interactive workshop, participants will:
- Discover what makes you, YOU. Create a personal collage exploring your emotions, identity, values and strengths.
- Understand your emotions. Learn to recognise different emotions, understand how stress affects the mind and body, and explore ways to respond rather than react.
- Find your emotional anchors. Discover grounding techniques and practical strategies to support yourself when feelings become overwhelming.
- Connect with your creativity. Express thoughts and feelings in ways that go beyond words, while gaining fresh perspectives on yourself.
🌿 What to Expect
The 90-minute session combines creative warm-up activities, an accessible introduction to emotional literacy and stress regulation, hands-on collage-making, and guided reflection.
There are no right or wrong answers, no artistic expectations and no pressure to share personal experiences.
No artistic experience needed. All materials will be provided. Sharing is always optional.

A Little More About This Workshop
You don't need to be good at art. You don't need to have everything figured out. And you certainly don't need AI to tell you who you are.
Just bring your curiosity and an open mind.
Come as you are. Create something uniquely yours. Leave with a fresh perspective on yourself.
