ACAI School 2026

ACAI (Art, Culture and AI) is a dedicated programme in partnership with the NFC SUMMIT 2026 in Lisbon (4–6 June), offering two workshops on creative work with artificial intelligence. One workshop is aimed at adults who wish to explore contemporary image generation tools, while the other is tailored to young participants and introduces AI through a hands-on image‑making session.

ACAI ClassStop making images: direct them!
June 5/6 - Prompting and prompt editing with Seedream, Nano Banana & Co

The new generation of image generators favours conversational prompting and enables prompt editing and working with a multitude of image references. Images can be edited quickly and effectively in post-production using language – without masking. AI becomes a virtual camera, enabling alternative perspectives for existing images; colour palettes and style guides can become part of the prompt as reference images. You can prompt with geo-location, emojis or role assignments. Enter a new universe of image making.
A three-hour deep dive with prompt battles as practical exercises.

June 4 - Portrait prompting and AI image creation

This workshop introduces young participants to AI-based image generation in a practical and transparent way. We take two photos on site, one portrait and one full-body pose. These images serve as the visual foundation for generating a personalised monster character.

Together we define characteristics such as type of creature, colours, facial features, environment and special abilities. The process is interactive and iterative. The result is refined step by step through conversational prompting and prompt editing. A drawing created by the participant can be used as an additional reference image.

Young participants actively guide the process and experience how their decisions affect the final image.
