Everyday work
Does any of this sound familiar?
- Meeting notes still need to become minutes and tasks.
- An event plan, funding application and report are all due at once.
- One idea needs a clear description, a press release and several communication variants.
From an idea to a practical exercise
Knowledge and techniques for your work
Try summarising documents, comparing priorities and developing ideas. In one practical example, we will build an AI agent for event communications: use event information to create two visual options, draft a press release and social media posts, and prepare a publishing plan. Learn principles you can apply to other AI agents of your own, and check the quality of their output. We will tailor the programme to the group's needs and explore a few selected examples in depth, rather than fully implementing every solution.

Who this is for
For staff at municipal cultural centres and community venues who plan events, coordinate projects, prepare documents or communicate with visitors. The sessions are relevant to managers, administrators, cultural organisers and communications specialists who want practical experience with AI.
Before we begin
No previous AI experience is required. Before the workshop, you will complete a short survey about your daily work, recurring tasks and experience with AI. This helps me choose examples and exercises relevant to the group.
You will need a computer and an internet connection. We will confirm access to tools and any preparation before the workshop.
Practical programme
What we will try
Documents and administration
Turn anonymised notes into a draft set of minutes, plan or report, and identify missing information.
Planning and priorities
Break down tasks, compare their order and look for conflicts in deadlines or resources.
Events and projects
Explore ideas, scenario structures and funding application outlines.
An AI agent for event communications
Use event information to create two visual options, draft a press release and social media posts, and prepare a publishing plan. Check and improve the output; publishing will not be automated.
Automation and safety
Choose a recurring task, sketch a workflow and check data and output risks.
Step by step
From application to practice
- Application and personal follow-up
- Invoice and confirmation
- A short survey about everyday work
- Practice tailored to the group
- Using what you have learned at work
Alongside the workshop
What you will gain during and after the sessions
Practical experience
Try AI tools on tasks similar to those in your working day.
Knowledge for independent work
Learn to give clear instructions, build your own AI agent and check its output. Apply the same principles to other everyday tasks in your cultural organisation.
Materials and shared answers
Receive a selection of practical approaches and prompts, followed by six weeks of weekly practical email tips and shared answers to the group's questions.
Follow-up Q&A
One 45-minute online session to discuss questions that arise as you use what you have learned.
Your workshop host
Eduards Cers
My creative direction work at Radio SWH brings together advertising ideas, content and technical delivery. I am building ApprovalDock, a platform for reviewing and approving images, video, audio and PDFs. At Prestigo Media, I work on TV playout systems and bespoke technical solutions. In the workshops, I bring these perspectives together to help participants break down work tasks, try AI tools and check the results.

Use anonymised examples. Do not provide personal or sensitive data, passwords, confidential documents or trade secrets.
Does the price include individual technical implementation?
Individual consulting, complex integrations and software development are outside the programme. This is not advanced programming or machine learning training.
What are the cancellation terms?
I will send participation, rescheduling and cancellation terms with the offer before payment. Submitting the form alone does not confirm participation.
