Artificial Intelligence is reshaping how trainers design and deliver learning.This activity helps trainers explore how AI can support non-formal education and training, enhance visual communication, and make training more inclusive and engaging.
By completing this activity, you will:
- Learn how to use AI tools like Leonardo.ai, Canva Magic Studio, HeyGen, and ElevenLabs to create visuals, photos, and videos for training purposes.
- Develop your digital creativity and visual communication skills as a trainer.
- Understand the practical aspects of using AI-generated content in non-formal education.
Before diving into practice, let’s explore why it is important for trainers to understand and use AI tools.
The digital learning environment is evolving fast, and Artificial Intelligence is becoming a common part of creative and educational processes. For trainers, knowing how these tools work is not just about keeping up with technology — it’s about enhancing learning quality, accessibility, and creativity.
By understanding AI tools, trainers can design more engaging visual materials, support diverse learning styles, and empower youth workers to use technology critically and responsibly.

Step 4: Practice
1. Choose your creative focus: decide whether you want to generate an image, video, visual or voice-over that could be used in your youth work or training context.
2. Complete the mission: In this activity, you will complete four practical missions using different AI tools — Leonardo.ai (image generation), HeyGen (video creation), ElevenLabs (voice production) and Canva AI / Magic Studio (design creation)
- Leonardo.ai (Image Generation) - Your task: Create one AI-generated image or illustration using Leonardo.ai that could be used in your youth training or educational project.The image can visualize a learning concept, reflect group dynamics, or serve as a poster or visual metaphor for a training session.
- HeyGen (Video Generation) - Your task: Create one short avatar-based educational video (30–60 seconds) using HeyGen that communicates a message relevant to your training work.
- ElevenLabs (Text-to-Voice Creation) - Your task: Create a short voice-over (30–60 seconds) using ElevenLabs that could be used in your future training or youth project.
- Canva AI & Magic Studio (Design Creation) - Your task: Create one AI-assisted design that promotes a youth training or expresses your identity as a trainer. It can be a poster, presentation slide, or social media post.
Each mission helps you discover how AI can support learning design, storytelling, and communication in non-formal education.
Note: All four tasks must be completed, and evidence for each must be presented to receive the badge.
In the attachment, you will find step-by-step guidelines that will help you successfully complete each mission. These guides explain how to use each tool, generate your creative outputs, and reflect on your experience before submitting your evidence.
By following these steps, you will gain hands-on experience with AI-assisted creativity and understand how to use these tools effectively in your role as a trainer.
