About the programme
Preparing learners for an AI-powered world
Artificial intelligence is already changing how people learn and work. Young people need more than access to technology: they need the judgement to use it well.
This programme introduces digital and AI literacy step by step: how the tools work, how to use them for learning and creativity, how to check information, and how to stay safe and respectful online. Teachers are supported to use these tools in their own practice, in line with UNESCO's AI competency frameworks for students and teachers.
