UA EduHub Greece hosted the AI Video Workshop «Create your first AI avatar», an introduction to what artificial intelligence can do for video content.
The workshop was led by Olena Soinikova — an AI creator, founder of Soinikova Digital and an ambassador of the HeyGen platform. It was the first free AI video workshop for the Ukrainian community in Athens within the HeyGen ambassador programme.
Participants learned how generative artificial intelligence works, which modern tools exist for creating video and what AI avatars can do. The focus was not only on the technical buttons but also on understanding what an AI avatar is, which tasks it can solve and how to use it strategically.
Participants worked with the HeyGen platform, created their own short videos, tested basic AI avatar scenarios and discussed how these tools can help in learning, work, presentations, communication and creative projects.
The workshop was part of the digital track of UA EduHub Greece and helped develop practical digital skills, promote modern technologies and the mindful use of artificial intelligence in the Ukrainian community in Greece.
The workshop was created for members of the Ukrainian community in Athens who wanted to explore how artificial intelligence can be used for video content, presentations, learning materials and digital communication.
Participants had different levels of experience: some opened AI tools for the first time, others had already experimented with them but needed a better understanding of how to use AI avatars not just technically but strategically — for specific tasks.
During the workshop participants gained hands-on experience with AI tools for creating videos and avatars.
Participants:
• learned what an AI avatar is and which tasks it can solve;
• explored the possibilities of the HeyGen platform;
• created their own short AI videos;
• learned to use AI for presentation and learning content;
• discussed examples of AI avatars in learning, work and creative projects;
• better understood the difference between using a tool technically and a strategic approach to AI content.
The workshop helped participants overcome the first barrier in working with AI video and see the practical value of generative tools for personal, educational and professional tasks.
The AI Video Workshop was organised by UA EduHub Greece as part of the Hub’s digital track.
It was led by Olena Soinikova — an AI creator, founder of Soinikova Digital and an ambassador of the HeyGen platform. The HeyGen platform supported the workshop within its ambassador programme, and UA EduHub Greece provided the space for the Ukrainian community in Athens.
