This weekend, Politehnica University of Timisoara organized the first online coordination meeting of the international project The EcoAI EduNetwork Initiative (EAIEN) – an innovative approach dedicated to education focused on artificial intelligence, sustainability and digital skills for high schools. The project, funded by Erasmus+ KA2, brings together partners from Turkey, Greece and Romania, and the meeting was coordinated by lect. Ana-Maria Dascălu and prof. dr. Bogdan Mihai Dascălu, UPT representatives in the international research team.During the meeting, the project partners analyzed the current state of activities, discussed the adaptation and translation of the Teacher’s Manual, explored new promotion strategies and established the next steps for carrying out practical activities in high schools.  The EAIEN project encourages the use of AI in education, provides access to open educational resources (OER) and…

In this post, we highlight four misconceptions that often turn adult trainers away from computational thinking. Many people believe that you need to know how to program, that it only serves young people, that technology is always needed or that it is too difficult for certain profiles. But the reality is something else. Computational thinking is based on problem solving and can be taught with everyday examples. It’s accessible to all ages and training levels. It’s time to break down barriers and bring new ways of learning closer to more people. In this post, we highlight four common misconceptions that often discourage adult educators from using CT in their training. Many believe you need to know how to code, that it’s only for young people, that you always need a computer,…

Raising awareness is key to the success of our project, therefore, we took part in the 15th Edition of The Future of Education International Conference (@PixelConferencesFlorence) this June.  We delivered a presentation on the topic “Computational Thinking for Low-Qualified Adults Education: Challenges and Implementation Process”.  View the presentation slides here: https://conference.pixel-online.net/…/9226-ADU7389-PPT…  Watch the full video recording here: Want to learn more about how computational thinking can support seniors?

The 8th partners’ meeting of the Erasmus+ project “Enhancing Low-Qualified Adults’ Inclusion through Computational Thinking (COMPutational Seniors)” focused on sharing insights from the testing phase of our Open Educational Resources (OERs).  Curious about how computational thinking can empower adults and promote digital inclusion?  Reach out to our team — we’re happy to share the outcomes and lessons learned!  Explore the OERs here: https://computationalseniors.eu/welcome-to-the… #computationalseniors#adulteducation#ErasmusPlus

Project Let's Mimic, which focuses on building biomimicry skills for the green transition among VET students, organised a capacity building event in Porto on July 1-3, 2025. The event developed educator and researcher skills on applying biomimicry approaches in practice for building student innovation skills inspired by nature see more

EAIEN has teamed up for a powerful collaboration to bring sustainability and AI into classrooms! As part of the EAIEN project, we partnered with the Eskişehir-based civil society organization Frigya NGO.  10 volunteer high school teachers from Frigya have joined the piloting of our online course, testing the content and sharing valuable feedback to help us improve the learning experience.  In our first meeting, teachers shared their initial impressions of the course. As the final step of the piloting process, they’ll complete a built-in feedback survey to contribute to the course’s refinement.  This partnership aims to empower educators to integrate green skills and AI-supported tools into their teaching more effectively.  Stay tuned — together, we’re taking bold steps toward a more sustainable future in education! #EAIEN#FrigyaNGO#GreenSkills#AIinEducation#TeacherTraining#SustainableEducation#EdTech#FutureReadySchools
