Artificial Intelligence is transforming how young people communicate, learn, access information and participate in society. As digital technologies become increasingly integrated into everyday life, youth workers need the knowledge, skills and critical awareness to navigate these changes and support young people effectively.
Youth Work in the Age of AI aims to strengthen youth workers’ capacity to understand, critically assess and meaningfully integrate Artificial Intelligence and digital tools into their educational practices.
Through non-formal education, interactive workshops, practical AI labs, peer learning and intercultural exchange, participants will explore both the opportunities and challenges of AI in youth work.
The Training Course will focus on:
-Exploring accessible AI tools and their practical applications in youth work and non-formal education.
-Strengthening critical digital and media literacy, including the ability to recognise and address misinformation and digital manipulation.
-Examining ethical considerations related to AI, including privacy, algorithmic bias, inclusion and human rights.
-Developing inclusive digital learning approaches that support young people with fewer opportunities.
-Exchanging experiences and innovative educational practices with youth workers from different European countries.
-Co-creating the Youth Work AI Playbook, a practical resource featuring learning activities, ethical guidelines and ready-to-use tools for youth work.
The project aims not only to develop participants’ competences but also to encourage the transfer of learning into their organisations and local communities.
