Description

The project trained over 100 vocational education & training (VET) teachers/staff in Lithuania, Belgium, and Italy through hands-on AI workshops, international conferences, and collaborative training.

Teachers were exposed to a variety of AI tools: generative AI for content creation; tools to support student writing and assessment; tools for designing interactive/inclusive learning environments. They weren’t just learning individual tools in isolation, but how to integrate them into real classroom workflows.

Ethical, pedagogical, and accessibility considerations were built into the training—for example, reflecting on how to use AI responsibly, how to adapt tools for different learner needs.

Why it shows “combined use” for effective lessons:

• Combines content generation tools + assessment tools + accessibility tools + human teacher reflection.
• Practical scenarios: teachers practise with tools; then embed them in their actual teaching.
• Focus not just on tool skills, but on how tools can support differentiated instruction, feedback loops, and inclusive design.

Outcomes / evidence:

• Teachers reported that the training “demystified AI tools” and provided “clear examples I can use with students immediately.”
• The project resulted in an EDU-AI Handbook, open access, providing guidance & resources for VET educators to adopt AI pedagogically soundly.
• There's commitment to continue training in 2026-27, including follow-ups, professional learning communities.
