This project focused on increasing vocational high school students’ awareness and competencies in artificial intelligence while introducing them to European youth opportunities through Eurodesk. Within the scope of the activity, an Artificial Intelligence Workshop and Eurodesk Youth Opportunities Information Meeting were successfully organised with the participation of students from 10 different vocational high schools.
The project was designed with a strong emphasis on hands-on learning. During the artificial intelligence workshop, students actively engaged in application-based activities that introduced fundamental AI concepts in an accessible and practical way. Rather than focusing solely on theory, the workshop enabled students to experience how artificial intelligence is used in real-life scenarios, encouraging problem-solving, creativity, and critical thinking skills. This approach was particularly effective for vocational high school students, as it aligned with their practice-oriented learning profiles and career interests.
In addition to the AI workshop, a comprehensive Eurodesk information session was delivered to inform students about European youth opportunities. Topics included education, training, volunteering, mobility programmes, and international project opportunities available to young people. Students were guided on how to access reliable information sources, follow current calls, and take an active role in international learning and mobility programmes.
By combining digital skills development with youth information and guidance, the project aimed to empower vocational high school students both technically and socially. The activity supported students in developing future-oriented skills while also motivating them to explore international opportunities, active citizenship, and lifelong learning pathways.
Overall, the project contributed to strengthening digital awareness, increasing participation in youth programmes, and fostering a more informed, motivated, and skilled group of young learners.
