Today we officially completed the first 12 months of our project A big thank you to our dedicated partners from Türkiye, Greece and Romania. The teamwork, commitment, and consistent progress over the past year have been truly inspiring. We are now entering the second year with strong collaboration, clear action plans, and renewed energy. Let’s keep moving forward — together! 💪🌱🤝 #EAIENproject #ErasmusPlus #GreenSkills #AIinEducation #Milestone #Teamwork

Today, Selin Çöpgeven from Anadolu University delivered a comprehensive presentation at EDU Congress 2025 on our study titled “AI-Supported Video Production in Instructional Design: A Design and Evaluation within the EcoAI EduNetwork Initiative.” Her presentation addressed the evolving role of instructional designers, the pedagogical and ethical considerations of AI integration, and the practical implications of our project findings. We are pleased to see the growing academic visibility and impact of the EAIEN project.

To all educators who inspire change! Your guidance, curiosity, and commitment lead young people toward a greener and more sustainable future. Thank you for your dedication and impact.EAIEN Team

Yesterday, our Romanian partner Ana-Maria Dascălu-Romitan from Universitatea Politehnica Timișoara presented EcoAI EduNetwork Initiative (EAIEN) at the roundtable event “Comunicarea științei: științe sociale și umaniste” hosted by UPT. She highlighted how EAIEN empowers teachers and students with green skills, AI literacy, and innovative OER creation, contributing to a more sustainable and future-ready education ecosystem. Proud to see our project growing stronger across Europe and inspiring more educators and learners!

Today we had the pleasure to work with the Musical High School of Volos to design solutions inspired by nature (biomimicry or nature-based solutions) for addressing climate change impact in our town. 14 students and their teachers, Ms. Chrysoula Makri and Afroditi Kalantzopoulou, visited the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. The activity was organised within Erasmus+ project Let’s Mimic, which develops learning resources for introducing biomimicry principles in learning. Students participated in team building and creativity exercises. Then, they were familiarised with biomimicry principles and examples, such as termite mounds for natural cooling of buildings, kingfisher beak shape inspiring bullet train design for reduced friction and noise, whale fins inspiring windmill design for energy production, seaweed cultivation for CO2 absorption, green roofs and terraces for clean air and temperature…

Next week, we are representing the EcoAI EduNetwork Initiative (EAIEN) with two presentations, sharing the progress and early outcomes of our project with an international academic audience. ⭐ AI-Supported Video Production in Instructional DesignNedime Selin Çöpgeven & Merve Diyarbakırlı ⭐ From Awareness to Action: Designing a Scalable Model for Green Skills and AI Literacy in Teacher EducationMerve Diyarbakırlı, Nedime Selin Çöpgeven, Halil Düzenli Both studies highlight how AI-powered tools can transform sustainability education, empower teachers, and support students in creating meaningful, future-ready learning experiences. 🎓 We are excited to share the impact of our work, learn from other researchers, and continue shaping the future of green skills and AI-enhanced education across Europe. #EAIEN #EcoAIEduNetwork #GreenSkills #AIinEducation #SustainabilityEducation #ErasmusPlus #TeacherEducation #OER #InternationalEducationCongress #EduCongress2025

Our partner high schools are now in the final phase of implementing the Green Skills Student Ambassador Program. After successfully completing the training, students have gained key competences in sustainability, climate literacy, eco-friendly design, and the responsible use of AI tools. They are now finalizing their own AI-supported educational materials to raise awareness among their peers and promote sustainable practices within their schools and communities.In line with data protection principles, we share AI-generated images instead of real student photos.

Today, we had the pleasure of working with students from Saint Joseph Primary School on prevention, response, and recovery from natural disasters. 27 students and their teachers visited the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and participated in activities that foster collaboration, coordination, creativity, critical thinking, and empathy. The workshop was conducted within the framework of the Erasmus+ research project ReachOut: Training Teachers to Become Trauma-Sensitive Schools. The project develops learning resources to promote awareness, preparation, and resilience in response to natural disasters, targeting students aged 12 years and under see more
