An international conference is taking place in Zagreb from 5 to 7 November 2026 eTwinning Schools 2026, bringing together principals and teachers from schools with the eTwinning School Label, as well as participants in the pilot programme for school-to-school mentoring. The conference focuses on developing future-ready schools, with an emphasis on collaboration, mentoring, inclusion and the development of basic and digital competences, including those related to artificial intelligence.
As part of the conference, Sanja Vakanjac Ivezić delivered a plenary presentation “AI Curriculum: Keeping Pace with Contemporary AI Literacy Standards””, in which she presented the “Artificial Intelligence: From Concept to Application” curricula and shared experiences from CARNET’s BrAIn project.
Developing AI Literacy through the “Artificial Intelligence: From Concept to Application” Curriculum
The presentation explored the development of AI literacy, from understanding fundamental concepts to the critical, responsible and practical use of artificial intelligence, drawing on experiences from CARNET’s BrAIn project. It highlighted activities through which schools can support the development of digital competences, critical thinking and the responsible use of new technologies.
The presentation focused on the “Artificial Intelligence: From Concept to Application” curricula, aligned with contemporary AI literacy standards. It outlined an age-appropriate progression of competences across primary and secondary education, connecting conceptual and technical understanding of artificial intelligence with ethical considerations, critical thinking, creativity and responsible use.
The presentation explained the reasons for revising the curricula, their structure and learning outcomes, with examples of competence development at different levels of education. It also covered the support the BrAIn project provides to teachers in implementing the curricula and strengthening their knowledge and skills in artificial intelligence.
