The goal of this three-year project is to strengthen the knowledge and skills of primary and secondary school teachers in the pedagogical, creative, and responsible use of Artificial Intelligence in education.
We invite teachers, educators, students in education departments, researchers, and experts in Artificial Intelligence and educational applications to attend the meeting and learn about the Community of Practice and its activities in Greece. During the meeting, the following will be presented:
– the objectives and framework of the AI Academy project,
– the operation and activities of the Community of Practice,
– the first thematic working groups.
This first meeting marks the launch of the Greek Community of Practice and will serve as an open forum for networking, dialogue, and collaboration among educators, researchers, and experts interested in leveraging Artificial Intelligence in teaching and learning.
The Community of Practice will function as a dynamic network for collaboration and co-creation, through working meetings, thematic workshops, pilot applications, and the development of educational materials and tools. Particular emphasis will be placed on the pedagogical use of Generative AI tools, differentiated instruction, the ethical and responsible use of AI, data protection, and the inclusion of all students.
The activities of the Community of Practice form the foundation for all subsequent activities of the AI Academy project: A European Collaborative Framework for AI Teacher Training and School Innovation, which is an innovative European initiative coordinated by the University of Athens and involving 13 renowned partners in the field of education from Greece, Italy, Bulgaria, Poland, Portugal, and Norway.
