SUMMARY:USDAW - Supporting Parents and Carers Spotlight Day
DESCRIPTION:Each year we hold a campaign day called Supporting Parents and Carers Spotlight Day. It’s an important opportunity for the Union to highlight the concerns of members who are caring for someone or bringing up children\, raise awareness of workplace rights and campaign for change. \nThis year\, on Wednesday 28 June\, Usdaw is organising a campaign day focusing on the problems low-paid working parents have finding affordable and flexible childcare. The campaign day this year has the theme ‘Overstretched’ that reflects both the pressures working parents in Usdaw are under and the fact that the UK’s childcare system is in crisis. \nEvery year hundreds of reps get involved on Spotlight Day. If you would like to support Spotlight Day this year\, you can do as much or as little as you like. You could set up a campaign stand in the canteen\, a staff area or on the shop floor. Usdaw will send you everything you need to help you have a successful campaign. \nYou could: \n\nGive out leaflets to members explaining how Usdaw can help them.\nPut a poster on your workplace noticeboard.\nTalk to members about the Union’s campaign.\nAsk members to take the survey.\n\nTo find out more about the campaign visit www.usdaw.org.uk/spc. If you’re new to campaigning read our briefing and if you’d like to order materials you can do this online.

SUMMARY:How to: AI & Democracy Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Over the last six months we’ve seen a breakthrough in powerful new AI technologies\, from Stable Diffusion to ChatGPT. These new tools will undoubtedly impact the work of democracy organisations in all sorts of ways\, from automatically drafting text\, creating and editing images and video\, to analysing data and more. Join us for an exploratory session as we put these new AI tools to the test! \nIn this workshop\, you’ll get hands-on experience with the latest AI technologies and how you might use them in your work to strengthen and build a healthier democracy in the UK. You’ll learn about prompt engineering and how to effectively guide the output of AI tools to get the results you want. \nThese tools are so new that nobody is really an expert\, and you don’t need to be able to code to access them – so whether you’re an organiser\, an activist\, campaigner or researcher\, you’re welcome. \nThis is a practical online workshop for people working across the democracy sector who are curious about how recent advances in AI tools might affect their work. \nThis session will be delivered by Hannah O’Rourke\, Co-founder of Campaign Lab. Hannah has been working at the intersection of campaigning and technology since 2018. \nIf you have any questions\, please don’t hesitate to drop us an email at hello@democracynetwork.org.uk. \nUK Democracy Network are a network of people and organisations working on issues of power\, democracy and voice throughout the UK. We aim to connect and work with others to build a stronger democracy fit for the 21st century. We do this through connecting people and supporting collaboration\, increasing knowledge\, skills and resources\, and coordinating influencing strategies and action. Join the network here.
