L'Intelligence comme chance de participation non comme risque

The Fondation Emploi Solidarité is active in the field of professional reintegration and the circular economy. We receive donations in kind from the population of the canton of Fribourg, which we revalue in our various ateliers and then sell in our four second-hand boutiques. This enables us to finance around 60% of our work ourselves, with the remainder being financed through service contracts with the public sector. We plan to offer certified training courses in various areas of our activity (cashier/sales, e-commerce, recycling, refurbishment, etc.) to enable our participants to increase their chances of reintegration by obtaining a training certificate. This will supplement the practical training they receive in our workshops and boutiques with training on aspects that they cannot see at our premises and with theoretical basics. As our target audience tends to be people with little education and few qualifications, and our employees are not trainers but work coaches, we want to use AI tools to develop audio-visual teaching materials that are tailored to the needs and level of our target audience. In addition, we would like to train our target audience in the use of AI tools that enable them to overcome existing barriers (linguistic, health and other) and thus participate fully in the programme and also use these tools in their work in the economy and in their private lives, thereby increasing their social participation. Here, too, we want to use AI to develop the appropriate teaching materials and find the most suitable AI tools to make our participants' everyday lives easier. We therefore hope that Hack4SocialGoods will provide us with specialists who can help us find the most suitable AI tools for creating teaching materials and coping with everyday (working) life, and prepare for implementation, which should ideally be done in a participatory manner with the involvement of the team. Our main client has currently put all investments on hold, so we cry to find no cost / low-cost-solutions
