Methodology
A hands-on, tool-based course: you build real, usable resources each day, always paired with a critical, ethical lens so you adopt AI responsibly rather than uncritically.
You'll work in small international groups of education staff from across Europe, sharing approaches across subjects and systems. Trainers are experienced practitioners who model the techniques you'll use, and afternoons extend the learning through Dublin's cultural programme.

- Confidently select and use AI and digital tools
- Plan lessons and materials faster
- Design engaging, AI-enhanced learning activities
- Evaluate AI tools critically
- Address digital safety, ethics and bias
