AI literacy and Critical Thinking – Erasmus+ Training for Teachers

Project title: AI and Critical Thinking

Erasmus+ project code: 2024-1-IT02-KA121-ADU-000236705

Programme: Erasmus+ | Adult Education (KA1)

Location: Belgium, Brussels (Novembre 2025)

The AI and Critical Thinking training course was implemented within the framework of the Erasmus+ programme and aimed at strengthening teachers’ digital competences through the practical use of artificial intelligence tools that can be directly applied in their current and future work with students and learners , while fostering critical thinking and responsible engagement with digital technologies.

Activities and methodology

The training programme was primarily built around the exploration and hands-on use of concrete AI programmes and tools relevant to contemporary educational contexts. Participants were introduced to a variety of artificial intelligence applications for content creation, lesson design, information analysis, and learner engagement.

The AI tools and exercises presented during the course were specifically developed in line with current AI trends and went beyond basic or introductory use.

To support meaningful learning, the training was delivered using non-formal education methodologies. Interactive and game-based learning activities, group work and reflective exercises were integrated throughout the programme. This approach encouraged active participation, peer learning, and experiential learning, fully aligned with Erasmus+ quality standards for adult education.

Learning outcomes

As a result of participating in the training, teachers:

• strengthened critical thinking and digital literacy skills;

• gained transferable methodologies applicable in both formal and non-formal education;

• increased confidence in integrating innovative digital tools into their teaching practice.

• developed practical competences in using AI tools for educational purposes;

The training contributed to the professional development of teachers, supporting pedagogical innovation, quality improvement, and capacity building in education. By combining technological competence with critical thinking, the project responded directly to European priorities related to digital transformation, lifelong learning, and skills development.
