Course group
Ethical AI, European values and human rights
The questions technology and society put to schools — and how to teach inside them.
Schools are where the next generation learns what fairness, dignity and participation mean in practice. These courses work on exactly that: the ethics of AI, democratic citizenship and human rights as everyday teaching.

Ethical use of AI in education
All levels
The questions AI raises inside a school — fairness, privacy, authorship, dependence — and how to answer them in policy and in Tuesday’s lesson.
Who it is for. Teachers, coordinators and leadership setting the terms for AI in their school.
Objectives
- Reason concretely about the ethical questions AI brings into education
- Draft classroom and school rules that people can actually follow
- Teach students to question automated systems rather than obey them
Learning outcomes
- Run a class discussion on AI use that produces positions, not noise
- Contribute substantively to your school’s AI policy
- Assess AI-assisted student work with criteria you can defend
- Explain your school’s choices to families in plain language
Teaching European values and democratic citizenship
All levels
Democracy as something practised at school rather than only described: participation, disagreement done well, and the shared values underneath both.
Who it is for. Teachers of any subject; tutors and coordinators carrying citizenship in the timetable.
Objectives
- Teach democratic values through practice as much as content
- Run structured discussion of controversial issues without the wheels coming off
- Connect citizenship to the lives students actually lead
Learning outcomes
- Chair disagreement students learn from
- Build genuine participation into how your class runs
- Treat European values concretely instead of ceremonially
- Handle the moment a hard topic arrives uninvited
Human rights education in everyday teaching
All levels
How human rights show up in ordinary subjects and ordinary school life, and how to teach them without preaching and without emptiness.
Who it is for. Teachers who meet rights questions in their subject, their classroom or their corridor.
Objectives
- Ground rights in cases students recognise from their own world
- Integrate rights education into the subjects already on the timetable
- Connect the school’s own rules and relationships to dignity and fairness
Learning outcomes
- Teach a rights topic through your own subject, credibly
- Respond well when a rights question erupts unplanned
- Use the school itself as the first worked example
- Keep nuance alive where slogans are easier

Fees and booking
The fee covers the teaching, all course materials and the week's two cultural activities. You arrange travel, accommodation and meals.
You can book through your institution or directly with us. Under Erasmus+ KA1, travel and accommodation come from the grant's own budget lines rather than from the course fee.
There is no deposit, and nothing is payable until the arrangement is agreed in writing.
