We are excited to present the Future Forward project, an European project (KA220- ADU) aimed at enhancing the digital skills of adult learners and educators, focusing on the practical use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in everyday life and work.
The project’s main objective is to empower adult learners with the knowledge and skills to safely access and use AI-based services, as well as provide adult educators with the necessary competencies to deliver effective and engaging training on the subject.
Objectives
- For Adult Educators: Improve the knowledge, skills, and competencies of adult educators to deliver effective basic training on how to access and use AI tools.
- For Adult Learners: Enhance the knowledge and skills of adult learners, focusing on the safe and accessible use of AI in both personal and professional contexts.
