AI Ready ASEAN Social Media Challenge: Celebrating International Education Week 

Overview  

The ASEAN Foundation, in its unwavering commitment to addressing emerging challenges and opportunities, has officially launched an innovative programme titled AI Ready ASEAN on 2nd October 2024. This initiative, supported by Google.org, is designed to empower 5.5 million ASEAN citizens. By equipping them with the necessary skills and knowledge, AI Ready ASEAN aims to enable individuals to navigate and benefit from the evolving opportunities presented by artificial intelligence (AI). 

One of the key strategies to achieve this ambitious goal is to leverage the power of social media. Recognising social media as a potent tool for connecting people and raising awareness, the ASEAN Foundation is launching a social media campaign to amplify the reach and impact of AI Ready ASEAN. This campaign is designed to engage a broad audience across the ASEAN region, fostering a deeper understanding of AI's transformative potential. 

In celebration of International Education Week, from 18-22November 2024, AI Ready ASEAN is aligning its mission with this global event. The programme seeks to educate ASEAN citizens, about the benefits and applications of AI in education. To this end, the ASEAN Foundation is organising a social media challenge. This initiative aims to spread awareness of both AI Ready ASEAN and International Education Week. 

The social media challenge invites participants to engage with the theme of AI in education, encouraging them to share their personal experiences and insights. Through this interactive and inclusive approach, the challenge seeks to highlight the innovative ways AI is being integrated into educational practices across the ASEAN region.
