AI in motion

Main Aim: to enhance the digital skills and professional competencies of youth workers by equipping them with AI tools that can be integrated into non-formal education. The project particularly focuses on promoting the digital well-being of marginalized youth, especially those who spend excessive time on the internet and screens. The key outcome will be a series of short, informative videos sharing the insights and methods developed, providing a valuable resource for educators and professionals.

Objectives:

1. Introduce AI tools to help youth workers recognize and support young people with internet, gaming, and social media addictions.

2. Improve the digital skills of youth workers to develop educational materials that promote the well-being of young people.

3. Equip youth workers with AI tools to create engaging and impactful digital content.

4. Strengthen the professional capabilities of youth workers in integrating AI tools into their work to better support marginalized youth.

Activities:
