Are you ready to harness the transformative power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to break barriers and create inclusive opportunities for young people?

This May, an extraordinary opportunity awaits youth practitioners, educators, and advocates in the heart of Europe.

Peer-learning activity: digital inclusion and AI

This seminar isn’t just another event; it’s a pioneering initiative designed to equip youth workers with the tools and knowledge to use AI responsibly and effectively.

Organized under the Strategic NA Co-operation on Digital Youth Work (SNAC DYW) – a long-term Erasmus+ project promoting digital inclusion and diversity – this activity sets the stage for reimagining youth engagement in the digital age.

Why AI and inclusion matter

Emerging technologies like AI hold immense potential for transforming education and youth work.

From personalizing learning experiences to fostering accessibility, AI can address diverse needs and create pathways for young people who face significant social and economic barriers.

Yet, as much as it promises, AI also poses challenges, particularly for those lacking resources or digital literacy. This initiative aims to bridge that gap, empowering youth practitioners to:

• Understand AI’s impact on education and its potential to drive inclusion.
• Leverage inclusive AI tools to create equitable opportunities for marginalized youth.
• Design innovative projects that integrate technology into Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps (ESC) programs.

A transformative learning experience

The peer-learning activity will feature:

Interactive workshops with AI experts and educators, offering insights into best practices and the latest tools.

• Hands-on exploration of AI-powered educational platforms, assessing their usability and inclusivity.
• Collaborative sessions for networking and partnership-building, fostering cross-border alliances.
• Peer exchanges to showcase diverse practices and solutions to shared challenges.

Through non-formal education methods, participants will engage in group work, presentations, and discussions, making this not just a learning experience but a launching pad for impactful projects.
