NWC/AI for Everyday Life — Welcome & Introduction to AI
A relaxed introduction to AI and the six-week AI for Everyday Life series. Meet Lea, explore what AI can realistically do, and discover how it may support your everyday life.
This opening session is designed as a friendly introduction to the AI for Everyday Life programme. We will explore what artificial intelligence actually is, where it already appears in everyday life, and how women can begin using it with more confidence and intention. There is no technical knowledge required. The session is designed to create space for questions, concerns and curiosity before the practical workshops begin. The core idea behind the programme is AI — Amplifying Intention: AI becomes most useful when you know what you are trying to achieve. The stronger the intention, goal or plan behind it, the more useful the technology can become. Participants will also get an overview of the five practical workshops that follow and have the opportunity to identify the areas of their own lives where AI may be most useful. Registration is managed by Nottingham Women's Centre. Book in advance at NWC Reception — phone 0115 941 1475 or email reception@nottinghamwomenscentre.com.
This is the first practical workshop in the AI for Everyday Life series. Participants will move from understanding AI conceptually to actually using it. We will set up or access an AI assistant, explore how conversations with AI work, and practise giving clear instructions and prompts. The session also covers important foundations around privacy, accuracy and critical thinking, so participants understand both the possibilities and limitations of AI from the beginning. You will leave with practical experience using AI and a foundation you can build on throughout the rest of the programme. Registration is managed by Nottingham Women's Centre. Book in advance at NWC Reception — phone 0115 941 1475 or email reception@nottinghamwomenscentre.com.
This practical session focuses on using AI at home and in family life. Participants will explore ways AI can support planning, organisation and everyday problem-solving without handing over their own judgement or responsibility. We will work with real-life examples such as meal planning, family schedules, household organisation, school-related tasks, research and everyday admin. The focus is on reducing unnecessary mental load and creating more time and headspace for the things that matter. Registration is managed by Nottingham Women's Centre. Book in advance at NWC Reception — phone 0115 941 1475 or email reception@nottinghamwomenscentre.com.

You have built your first AI Agent. Now make it genuinely useful. In this practical two-hour workshop, you will add new skills to your agent, connect external services, and set up automations that save real time. We will work hands-on with your existing setup, solve common problems, and leave with a more capable agent and a plan for what to automate next.
This practical workshop explores how AI can support women in employment, job searching, career changes and professional development. Participants will work through examples including CV improvement, job descriptions, interview preparation, employer research, professional emails and workload planning. We will also discuss where human judgement, personal experience and authentic voice remain essential. The aim is to help participants use AI as a practical career support tool while staying in control of their own decisions and professional identity. Registration is managed by Nottingham Women's Centre. Book in advance at NWC Reception — phone 0115 941 1475 or email reception@nottinghamwomenscentre.com.
This hands-on workshop explores how AI can support content creation for personal projects, community work, professional profiles and small businesses. Participants will experiment with generating ideas, drafting posts, improving text and creating or planning visual content. We will also explore the difference between using AI as a creative assistant and allowing generic AI-generated content to replace your own voice. The session focuses on using AI to make creation easier while keeping content personal, purposeful and recognisably yours. Registration is managed by Nottingham Women's Centre. Book in advance at NWC Reception — phone 0115 941 1475 or email reception@nottinghamwomenscentre.com.
The final practical workshop brings together everything explored across the series. Participants will look at where AI genuinely adds value in their own lives and where they want to keep clear boundaries. Rather than learning another collection of tools, participants will begin building a personal AI workspace around their own priorities. This may include reusable prompts, personal instructions, recurring workflows, useful AI conversations and a simple structure for continuing to learn independently. The session returns to the programme principle of AI — Amplifying Intention. The aim is for each participant to leave with greater agency, confidence and a clear idea of how she wants technology to support her life. Registration is managed by Nottingham Women's Centre.
