AI for Youth Work: Practical Tools, Ethics & Inclusion
Erasmus+ Training Course in Yerevan, Armenia
May 3-10, 2026
Infopack is available
Open InfopackProject organized by Copernicus Berlin e.V.
This practice-oriented training equips youth workers with a realistic and responsible toolkit to use AI in youth work and non-formal education. Participants explore how generative AI and automation can support learning design, inclusion, communication and project management—while addressing core risks: bias, misinformation, data protection (GDPR), and ethical use. The course combines hands-on labs (prompting, AI-assisted facilitation, content creation) with safeguarding and inclusion frameworks to ensure AI strengthens participation rather than widening inequalities.
- Build practical competence in using AI tools for youth-work delivery and organisational efficiency.
- Strengthen digital ethics: bias awareness, privacy-by-design, transparency and consent.
- Design inclusive AI-supported activities for young people with fewer opportunities.
- Develop micro-projects (AI use cases) transferable to local youth centres/schools.

Participants will be able to: create AI-supported lesson plans; run safe AI activities with youth; identify AI risks; apply GDPR-aware workflows; and develop an implementation roadmap.
