Key concepts
SOCIAL PARTICIPATION AND AI
How does technology help us participate in our community?
What is social participation?
Social participation means taking part in your community.
Enjoying together: Doing activities, going to workshops, or meeting friends.
Being active: Making decisions, sharing ideas, and choosing your plans.
AI as a tool to connect
A personal assistant: AI helps you search for information to go out and connect with others.
Find opportunities: Discover associations, interest groups, and events near you.
Search activities and interests
Tailored options: Tell AI what you like, and it will give you personalized ideas.
A variety of plans: Find courses, art, sports, music, or volunteering.
Accessibility and Inclusion
Artificial Intelligence helps you find places where you feel comfortable:
- No barriers: Finds places that are easy to enter, with ramps or elevators.
- Quiet places: Finds spaces without too much noise so you can relax.
- Clear information: Ask AI to explain things using Easy-to-Read format.
How to ask AI for ideas
Talking to AI is like asking a friend for help:
Say what you like: Write or speak to your phone using simple words.
Say where you want to go: Explain if you prefer staying near home or going with friends.
Clear messages: If you explain well what you want, AI gives you better ideas
Examples of prompts
You can ask AI for plans using these examples:
Example 1: Find a fun workshop in my neighborhood (name) for Saturday mornings.
Example 2: Tell me quiet places without noise to have a drink with my friends in my city (name of the city).
Keep asking the AI
If you don't fully like the plan, you can keep talking to the AI!
Ask for other plans: If you don't like the first idea, tell it: "Give me different options”.
Ask for more details: You can ask how to get there, how much it costs, or what to wear.
Adjust the search: Tell AI if you prefer a closer, cheaper, or quieter place

Making your own decisions
You are in charge and you choose what you like:
AI gives options: It shows you several ideas, but you decide.
Choose your favorite: Pick the plan that makes you feel happy and confident.
Ask if unsure: You can review the ideas with your family or support person.
From idea to action
Prepare your outing step by step:
Check time and place: See what day it is and how you will get there.
Invite others: Suggest the plan to your friends or group.
Enjoy!: Go outside and take part in the activity
