Artificial Intelligence and critical thinking in European Solidarity Corps

Critical thinking is an essential dimension of digital transformation in European Solidarity Corps (ESC) volunteering, particularly in the context of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The ability to think critically is crucial for navigating life in general, digital environments in particular, and AI tools even more so. This challenge applies to volunteers engaged in ESC projects, who need support to make informed and responsible choices, but also to organizations to understand how to use these tools strategically and responsibly.

Accordingly, it is vital to reflect not only on the risks of AI, such as misinformation or biases, but also the ways in which it can enhance learning, problem-solving, and project outcomes. This webinar aims to help organizations navigate and balance these opportunities and risks, fostering critical thinking and informed decision-making among both volunteers and ESC organizations.

Guest speakers and outstanding project representatives will guide us through shared reflections and discussions on these themes, offering valuable good practices and concrete examples from their experience.

The French National AgencyErasmus+, in cooperation with the SALTO European Solidarity Corps and SALTO Digital Resource Centres, warmly invite organizations active within the European Solidarity Corps, and colleagues of National Agencies and SALTOs to share, reflect, and learn from the speakers and from each other.

This webinar is primarily intended for project coordinators and mentors active in the European Solidarity Corps, either in hosting or sending volunteers.

It is also open to organisations not currently active in the European Solidarity Corps, as long as they are based in countries where the programme is accessible.
