Decolonize Training
Relationships count. Our surveys show up to 70% of learners prefer in-person learning because of the direct interaction with instructors and peers. It’s an opportunity for participants to network and build important social capital. The team at Lirio AI knows how essential social connections are for professional opportunities and advancement.
That’s why we’re excited about the use of AI to complement IRL (“in real life”) trainings where participants can build local relationships. Lirio AI digitises technical capacity building content, which is often delivered by international experts flown to project sites.
This international travel is costly and carbon-intensive, and usually only feasible a few times per year. Instead, our team can work with your preferred international experts or supply our own experts – who bring more than a decade of experience in their field – to create digital technical content.
Improve learning outcomes with culturally familiar AI Avatars – or inspire learners with a digital version of your local project staff!
We then assign each training course an AI avatar who can be built to reflect your project’s local staff members or can look like a member of the culture where your project operates.
Education research shows that students have better learning outcomes when they learn from culturally and racially matched instructors. Matching instructors and learners reduces “cultural friction”, like accents, life experience, and perspectives, that can distract from mastering technical content. With Lirio AI, local project staff or delivery partners can gather participants in a networking session where they learn from technical expert-created content.
Local conveners can run a successful capacity building event without needing to be technical experts, making it easier to quickly convene your participants and deploy a new capacity building training module. Your project saves money by avoiding international travel and carbon offset costs.
Put this money to use on delivering more programming like frequent capacity-building initiatives and training updates. Get more results, quickly, and provide your donors with better impact metrics.
