Final publication

The final publication summarises the pioneering journey of the DIG4Future project, emphasizing its contribution to advancing AI education and cultivating a critical and responsible use of AI-based technologies
among young people.

The project in numbers

To foster digital skills and competences of digitally excluded children, the project has managed to involve schools and youth centres in disadvantaged areas in both urban and rural contexts where students have very limited opportunities to develop their digital skills and competencies and participate in European projects. A report on the evaluation activities can be found here.

Recommendations For Policy Makers And Stakeholders And Schools At Local, National And European Level

Foster in-depth discussion and debate in educational communities

Digital literacy and artificial intelligence are central issues for the younger generations and it is necessary to cultivate a culture of sharing and continuous training among teachers, educators and the entire school community.

Promoting a multidisciplinary and human-centred approach to AI

As part of each school’s curriculum, provide for the cross-disciplinary dissemination of fundamental concepts, promoting a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the impact of artificial intelligence on various aspects of life.

Foster an inclusive learning environment that considers the diverse needs and abilities of students

Artificial intelligence education must be inclusive and address the needs and abilities of all learners, regardless of their background or specific learning characteristics.

Foster in-depth discussion and debate in educational communities

As part of artificial intelligence literacy courses, provide methodologies that stimulate students’ creativity and problem-solving skills.

Cultivating critical thinking

An artificial intelligence literacy programme must provide students with the tools to assess the ethical, social and economic implications of technologies.

Raising students’ awareness of ethical issues

Promote awareness of the possible biases of artificial intelligence to prevent the reproduction and perpetuation of discrimination and inequality.
