The AI Pioneers project successfully started in January 2023 under the EU Erasmus+ programme with 10 project partners from Italy, Portugal, Greece, Spain, Cyprus, Estonia and Germany. The project focuses on building a network of pioneers from the education sector who are actively involved in the field of artificial intelligence (AI).
This
will involve teachers and trainers, stakeholders, policy makers and educational planners to
promote the use and delivery of AI in VET and adult education. The project will
continue to focus on policy recommendations, toolkits and implementation
guidelines for AI pioneers on the use of AI, as well as the identification,
development and piloting of AI use cases in education. Furthermore, the
development of an addendum to the Digital Competence Framework for Educators
(DigCompEdu) is addressed, which takes into account the capabilities and the
development of guidelines (in line with existing EU policy) for the ethical and
trustworthy use of AI in education. Involving relevant stakeholders such as
companies and vocational schools is at the centre of the project.
