Starting in November 2024, ECHO kicks
off its Academy
in Amsterdam, bringing together young creatives and thinkers from across Europe, to focus on
the future of artificial intelligence (AI)
and digitization!
ECHO is an exciting opportunity
for a selected group of 15 participants aged 18-30 from various disciplines and experiences. Over approximately 12 weeks, you'll engage in workshops
and activities led by artists and experts from various fields to support
and inspire you in the development
of your creative campaign.
AI offers us a myriad of opportunities: from shorter workweeks due to higher efficiency, to solving the most complex questions. But it already also poses many threats: from misleading deepfakes, biases in AI models
(race, gender, physical differences), fake news generation to surveillance capitalism. In other words, we’re
in need to find solutions to protect
our fundamental rights and democracy as a whole.
During the program, you’ll work
in teams to create and launch your
own campaign around this theme, using a dedicated campaign budget
to drive real change and inspire your peers. You’ll receive training from renowned artists, campaign experts, and industry leaders on how to craft effective campaigns and make
a meaningful impact.
