Project

Youth participation in AI governance

The YouthGovAI project aims to empower young people and the youth sector to play an active role in shaping European AI governance. Key objectives include enhancing the capabilities of educators in the non-formal educational sector, improving the AI literacy among young people, increasing their representation in AI governance discussions, and disseminating information on AI’s societal impact. The YouthGovAI project involves several activities such as co-creation sessions with stakeholders, an AI literacy learning program for youth, an AI literacy course for youth workers, and an eLearning platform for youth and youth workers. The YouthGovAI project’s expected results include an increase in AI literacy among young people and youth workers, increased youth representation in AI governance discussions, and improved capabilities of educators to teach about AI. The project also aims to increase public awareness about the impact of AI on young people, foster dialogue and collaboration between stakeholders, and create a more inclusive and diverse AI governance framework in Europe.

NCSR ‘Demokritos’ will contribute to all activities and will be responsible for the design and development of the YouthGovAI eLearning platform that will host all the material produced by the project.
