Format description: The classroom format is the optimal choice for our workshop as it facilitates an effective learning environment. With rows of chairs and tables, participants can easily focus their attention on the front of the room where presentations and activities will occur. For instance, during the session, participants will engage in the experience of an escape room game, where they will work together in teams to solve puzzles related to AI fairness and governance. The classroom setup naturally encourages collaboration and interaction among attendees, fostering a conducive atmosphere for group learning. Additionally, tables provide ample space for participants to engage in hands-on activities, such as project-based training exercises, further enhancing their learning experience. Overall, the classroom layout aligns perfectly with the interactive nature of our workshop, allowing participants to actively engage with the content and each other.

Description:
This workshop explores alternative methodologies for teaching AI fairness and governance within the context of harnessing innovation and balancing risks in the digital space. Experts will share diverse strategies such as using escape room games, conducting project-based training, and other innovative practices. By focusing on the relevance of AI fairness to Internet Governance and its alignment with the subtheme, participants will engage in substantive discussions on best practices and policy questions. The session will emphasize interactive engagement, considering the hybrid nature of the meeting, and promoting diversity across various vectors. In addition to fostering substantive discussions on best practices and policy questions, our workshop will provide participants with hands-on opportunities to engage with the alternative methodologies presented. Through interactive activities and demonstrations, attendees will have the chance to experience firsthand how escape room games, project-based training, and other innovative practices can be effectively utilized in AI fairness and governance education. This experiential learning approach will deepen participants' understanding of the practical application of these methodologies and inspire them to explore creative ways to integrate them into their educational contexts. Moreover, by encouraging active participation and collaboration, the session will facilitate the exchange of ideas and experiences among diverse stakeholders, enriching the learning experience for all involved.
Participants will leave the session equipped with a deeper understanding of innovative methodologies for teaching AI fairness and governance, along with practical strategies for implementation. The session's outputs will include a curated handbook of collected methodologies, providing a valuable resource for educators and policymakers. Additionally, the insights generated from discussions and interactions with experts will inform the development of best practice guidelines for integrating these methodologies into educational curricula. The session will catalyze ongoing dialogue and collaboration, fostering partnerships between stakeholders in academia, industry, and civil society. Ultimately, the outcomes will contribute to advancing inclusive AI literacy education and promoting diversity and equity in the digital space.
Hybrid Format: We will utilize Zoom for online participation and integrate a hybrid Q&A platform that will allow both online and on-site participants to submit their questions electronically. To manage the Q&A flow, a designated facilitator will be present to give priority to online questions and ensure that they are addressed clearly for both audiences. Both groups will have access to live polls and breakout rooms. Additionally, we will provide pre-workshop resources in the form of a digital handbook that outlines the methodologies beforehand. For online participants, a dedicated technical support team will be available to troubleshoot any audio or video issues. We will also clearly outline expectations for participation, such as microphone etiquette and camera usage, for both online and on-site attendees. Lastly, we will record the workshop session and share it with all participants afterward, allowing those who couldn't attend live to access the content later.
