From AI skills to digital resilience: empowering young people in the digital transformation

Description

The project promotes a critical and reflective approach to Artificial Intelligence (AI) among students and teachers. At its core is the educational tool “AI School” (“KI-Schule”), which was developed as part of the “Digital Resilience” project within the 3rd DIZH Rapid Action Call. The tool has already been tested in school classes and presented at both the Media Didactics Conference 2025 at Zurich University of Teacher Education and the News Literacy Conference 2026 in workshops involving education professionals from across Switzerland.

An interdisciplinary team is continuously developing and refining “AI School”. Feedback gathered from events and workshops with teachers and students is systematically incorporated into the optimisation of the tool and the development of additional teaching and learning materials. The project aims to establish “AI School” as a sustainable resource in schools and to support teachers in fostering AI literacy among young people.

At Scientifica 2026, the tool and complementary materials designed to promote AI literacy among adolescents will be presented and made accessible to a broad public audience.
