    AI is increasingly becoming part of everyday creative and problem-solving processes. Yet many people still struggle to understand how to collaborate proactively, creatively and effectively with AI tools.
    This interactive workshop introduces participants to AI-supported creative thinking through a design thinking approach. Participants will explore how human creativity and AI tools can complement each other when addressing routine or complex challenges.
    After a short introduction to the mindset and principles of human-AI collaboration, participants will experiment with AI tools that support ideation, exploration, and rapid concept development. Working in small teams, they will be guided through a time-boxed creative challenge, where they use AI to generate, refine, and evaluate potential solutions to a real-world problem related to sustainable development.
    The workshop emphasizes human agency, critical thinking, and responsible AI use, helping participants understand not only what AI can do, but how to work with it creatively and responsibly.
    By the end of the session, participants will have developed a prototype concept and a structured understanding of how AI can support creative processes, while remaining aware of ethical considerations and limitations.
