Active Citizens Partnership

12/10/2026

On 8–9 October 2026, Active Citizens Partnership (ACP) had the pleasure of hosting the AI Ready Schools project’s Interim Transnational Project Meeting in Athens, Greece, bringing together our European partners for two days of collaboration, reflection and planning.

As we move into the second year of the project, our discussions focused on a central question: How can we move from developing AI readiness frameworks and resources to making a meaningful difference in classrooms?

🔹 AI Ready Schools (WP2): We reviewed the results of our work with schools, reflected on piloting experiences and lessons learned, and explored how these findings can inform the next stages of the project.

🔹 AI Ready Teachers (WP3): We discussed the development of our teacher professional development programme, focusing on practical, pedagogically meaningful approaches that empower educators to integrate AI into teaching and learning.

🔹 AI Ready Students (WP4): A key discussion focused on connecting teacher development with student learning. AI-ready teachers are essential to developing AI-ready students, but the ultimate goal is to help young people understand, critically evaluate and responsibly use AI.

🔹 Learning from the AI Cookbook: We explored how practical AI teaching recipes and classroom activities can inspire our approach to teacher training and student engagement.

🔹 Impact, dissemination and sustainability: We considered how to measure meaningful educational impact, share our results and ensure that the project's outcomes continue to benefit schools beyond its lifetime.

💡 One important takeaway from our discussions: AI readiness is not simply about learning to use AI tools. It is about developing the knowledge, skills, critical thinking and ethical awareness needed to live, learn and participate in an AI-shaped world.

A big thank you to all our partners for their contributions, constructive discussions and shared commitment to making AI education more accessible, inclusive and pedagogically sound.

We look forward to turning our plans into meaningful learning experiences for teachers and students across Europe!

SAFE FUTURE AMIF
What do young people really know about migration to Europe? And where do they get their information?

We are currently working on our Baseline Research, taking a closer look at the information, perceptions and narratives surrounding migration among NEETs – young people Not in Education, Employment or Training.

Our work combines research with direct dialogue.

We are talking to key stakeholders, organisations and professionals working with young people and migrant communities.

We are also organising focus groups with NEETs, creating a safe space where young people can share their views, expectations, concerns and experiences.

A particular focus is placed on the online information environment: What messages do young people encounter? How can misinformation and misleading narratives influence their perceptions and decisions? What information do they trust?

By bringing together evidence, stakeholder expertise and the voices of young people themselves, we want to better understand the reality behind the narratives and contribute to more informed, resilient and responsible decision-making.

Gender based violence is a silent epidemic affecting millions of women across the EU.

From physical and sexual violence to psychological and economic abuse, too many women suffer the consequences of violence, often by someone they know and trust. And fear and stigma prevent many from speaking out.

There are people behind every crisis.

Wherever they may come from, show your solidarity with all who are displaced.

On 7–8 September 2026, partners of the Erasmus+ project “Let’s Meet Offline!” came together in Athens, Greece, for our 2nd Transnational Partner Meeting (TPM2), hosted by Active Citizens Partnership (ACP).
Two productive days of collaboration, reflection and planning!

During the meeting, partners from Greece, Slovakia and Poland shared the results of the pilot testing carried out in their schools, discussing students’ and teachers’ experiences with the draft offline lesson scenarios and intervention cards.
Together, we:
- Reviwed the 20 open lesson scenarios and 20 intervention cards
- Worked on the structure and content of the project booklet
- Reviewed the multilingual Resource Portal and dissemination activities
- Planned the Teacher Training Curriculum, Train-the-Trainer activities and local workshops
- Discussed impact assessment and evaluation tools
- Reviewed the project timeline, responsibilities and next steps

- On the second day, partners also visited Athener Schule in Vrilissia, gaining valuable insights into the school environment and exchanging experiences with the local educational community.

And, of course, we made time for what the project is all about — connecting offline! ❤️

A big thank you to all partners for their active participation, ideas and commitment to creating more opportunities for children and young people to disconnect from screens, reconnect with others and rediscover the value of offline play and interaction.

When thousands of people risk their lives to cross borders, it reminds us that migration is not just a political issue—it is a human one.
The recent arrivals in Ceuta, where many migrants swam across the border from Morocco, highlight the complex realities of irregular migration and the urgent need for accurate information, cooperation, and respect for human dignity.

At SAFE FUTURE, an AMIF-funded project, we believe that misinformation and false narratives can place people at even greater risk. Our project works to better understand migration-related narratives, identify disinformation, and support evidence-based communication that empowers people to make informed decisions.
Through research, stakeholder engagement, and collaboration with local communities and organisations, SAFE FUTURE aims to strengthen public awareness and contribute to safer, more responsible communication on migration.
Migration is a shared European challenge that requires solidarity, reliable information, and the protection of fundamental rights.
Together, we can promote informed dialogue instead of misinformation.

The Safe Future project has officially started!
We were pleased to hold the first coordination meeting for the SAFE FUTURE project with our partners from the Iraqi Institution for Development (IID) in Mosul.
The meeting focused on planning IID’s key role in supporting the project through community engagement, misinformation mapping, culturally adapted awareness content, legal literacy activities, and outreach to vulnerable youth and families across Iraq.

Together, we discussed the next steps to ensure that project activities are locally relevant, inclusive, and responsive to the needs of Iraqi communities. Through close collaboration, SAFE FUTURE will strengthen access to reliable information, promote legal migration pathways, and build resilience against misinformation.

We look forward to a productive partnership and the positive impact we will create together.
