Every partner, one shared mission
Over the two days, each partner presented its role in the project and how its expertise contributes to the common goal:
EDIH Zagore (Bulgaria) – project coordinator, responsible for overall management and quality.
Coaching Bulgaria Association (Bulgaria) – leads monitoring, evaluation and learning, ensuring continuous quality assurance throughout the project.
COSVITEC (Italy) – host of the meeting and lead of the research phase, including the competence frameworks and the Good Practices Booklet.
Flexskill (Slovakia) – leads the development and piloting of the AIspire toolkits, as well as communication and dissemination.
EDLiT Human o.p.s. (Czech Republic) – training and pedagogy partner contributing to research, toolkit development and piloting.
Epimorfotiki Kilkis (Greece) – leads the development of the AIspire Online Hub.
Directorate of Secondary Education of Kilkis (Greece) – leads policy dialogue, connecting classroom experience with education strategy.
Research-informed co-creation: frameworks and good practices
A central part of the meeting was dedicated to the project’s first phase, whose results will feed into the rest of the project. AIspire will develop two AI competence frameworks aligned with DigComp 2.2: Framework A for teachers and Framework B for school leaders. Rather than being written behind closed doors, the frameworks are co-created with educators through Local Living Labs, so that European standards are grounded in real classroom experience.
In parallel, partners are collecting examples of ethical and inclusive AI use in schools, with a target of 75 practices across the partner countries. At the meeting, the consortium agreed on a cross-country peer review process: each country reviews the practices collected by two other countries, and every practice is also assessed for data protection, gender and ethical risks. The 40 strongest examples will be published in the multilingual AIspire Good Practices Booklet.
The partners left Naples with a shared plan for the coming months, starting with completing the good practices collection and the peer review, and preparing the structure of the AIspire toolkits for teachers and school leaders.
