Why this is Erasmus+ eligible

Structured, multi-day programme (5 days) with a pre-defined schedule and learning outcomes — not a passive lecture format.

Built around interaction: participants engage directly with the trainer and with peers from other countries throughout the course.

Transnational by design — open to participants travelling from outside the host country, a core requirement of Erasmus+ mobility funding.

Aligned with the Erasmus+ horizontal priority: Digital Transformation.

The Erasmus+ Programme Guide names digital transformation as a horizontal priority, stating that "the Erasmus+ programme plays a key role in supporting citizens of all ages in acquiring the digital skills and competences they need to live, learn, work, exercise their rights, be informed, access online services, communicate, critically consume, create and disseminate digital education content" (Erasmus+ Programme Guide 2026, Part A – Priorities of the Erasmus+ Programme, p. 8).

Overview

This course offers a comprehensive program for teachers and educators aimed at adapting to the educational environments and societies of the digital age. Covering digital citizenship, digital media literacy, and the use of AI tools in education, the course is structured within the framework of UNESCO, UN, and EU initiatives on these topics. It provides participants with knowledge on digital safety, ethics, and critical evaluation of media content, while teaching them how to implement AI tools through hands-on activities. Participants will gain the skills necessary to enhance students’ digital literacy in schools, raise them as safe and ethical individuals in the digital world, and personalize educational processes using AI tools. This program aims to take significant steps to support digital transformation and innovation in education.

Description

Theoretical information will be presented through brief presentations, followed by practical experiences. Assessment will be based on the projects created and materials developed by participants. Feedback forms will be collected at the end of the course, and participants will receive Europass certificates and participation documents.

School impact

After completing this course, the participating staff member can transfer outcomes directly to their school: a short briefing for colleagues sharing the key takeaways, applying relevant tools or strategies from the programme in their own role, and inclusion of the course materials in the school's professional development resources — turning one person's mobility into a wider institutional gain that supports the school's Erasmus+ objectives. Use the Dissemination & School Impact Plan below to fill in your own — it saves as you go and can generate a one-page summary for your coordinator too.

After the course

Participants will receive their certificates.

Participants will provide a general evaluation of the course and complete the event survey.

Participants will receive course materials, videos, photos, and PDF documents in both digital and print formats.

Follow-up and Support: After the course, participants will receive all course materials both digitally and in print. Self-evaluation materials will be provided, and depending on the group, an email group may be set up for idea exchange.

Frequently asked

This course is an eligible training activity under Erasmus+ Key Action 1 (School Education Mobility) — the course fee, travel and subsistence fall within the eligible cost categories. Whether it is covered depends on your own project's approved grant agreement and your National Agency's rules; we provide all the invoices, attendance records and certificates your National Agency requires for reporting.

B1 is enough — you do not need to be fluent. Trainers speak slowly and plainly, every session is built around doing something rather than sitting and listening, and groups are mixed by nationality so people help each other out. A rough test: if you could follow a staff meeting held in English and ask a question in it, you will be fine here.

Absolutely — group bookings of 3+ from one school or organisation receive priority placement, and we can schedule a dedicated session for groups of 12 or more.

Our courses run on request at our centres in Antalya, İstanbul, İzmir, Mersin, Budapest, Bremen and Rome. Tell us your preferred city and dates and we will arrange a session.

Tuition, all course materials, your Certificate of Attendance, and the co-signed Europass Mobility document. Flights, accommodation and travel insurance are booked separately — we send a vetted hotel list.

You can move to any later session free of charge. Cancellations made 30+ days before the start date receive a full refund; a reduced refund applies closer to the date — see our full Cancellation & Refund Policy for the exact schedule.

Frame it in your own project's terms — your National Agency's current call will confirm exactly how it applies.
