A workshop for every resident

Pick one or combine them into a full municipal programme.

AI without fear: protection from fraud and using it to their advantage.
Families and PTAs
AI and teens: guiding without banning.
Shops and freelancers
Practical AI for the small local business.
Municipal staff
AI with judgment for the council's daily work.

AI already affects your residents, trained or not

Every week, people in your town run into artificial intelligence without asking for it. Without guidance, the gap widens.

  • More convincing fraud

    Cloned voices impersonating a relative and flawless phishing messages. Older people are the prime target.

  • Minors without judgment

    Chatbots, deepfakes and AI-made schoolwork reach classrooms and homes before any rule or training.

  • Local business and jobs

    Freelancers and small firms that do not adopt AI lose ground to those who do.

What IAescola brings to your council

We are an AI training academy based in Banyeres del Penedès. We work with local governments on a turnkey basis.

  • Tailored workshops

    Adapted to every audience in town: seniors, families, young people, businesses and municipal staff.

  • In-person delivery

    At your community centres, libraries or telecentres, in Catalan or Spanish.

  • We help with funding

    We advise on minor contracts, provincial council grants and digital-skills programmes so cost is not a barrier.

Frequently asked questions from councils

Can any town council contract these workshops?

Yes. Digital training for citizens fits within municipal powers over adult education, social services, participation and economic promotion. Any municipality can offer it, including small ones.

How is it funded?

Through own budget (usually via a minor services contract), provincial or county grants, or within digital-skills programmes. We advise on the best route; the current call for each should be confirmed.

In which language and where are they held?

In person at your municipal venues, in Catalan or Spanish, in sessions of whatever length suits you or multi-session programmes.

How much does it cost?

We prepare a tailored quote based on the number of workshops and audiences. Write to us and we will send a no-obligation proposal.
