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 opens its digital transformation priority with the sentence “To support the successful digital transformation and address societal challenges such as AI or disinformation more effectively Europe needs education, training and youth systems that are fit for the digital age”, and goes on to describe the programme as playing “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). This course builds exactly those skills for teachers' everyday work: choosing and using AI tools to plan lessons, create materials and give feedback, with clear rules for students' data — so that a school's staff can use AI confidently and safely.

Overview

Most teachers have tried an AI chatbot once or twice. Few use it well every week. This course is hands-on: you try the tools on your own lessons and learn to ask them for exactly what you need.

  • Monday — getting started: how AI assistants work, what they get wrong, and how to ask them well.
  • Tuesday — planning: lesson plans, activities and ideas, drafted with AI and fitted to your curriculum.
  • Wednesday — creating: texts, worksheets, images and slides for your class.
  • Thursday — assessing: quizzes, rubrics and feedback — and homework tasks that still work when students have AI.
  • Friday — your toolkit: emails and everyday tasks, the tools you will keep using, and the rules for using them safely.

You go home with a personal AI toolkit: a set of prompts you have tested, one lesson planned and prepared with AI, and a short plan for the time you will save.

Description

AI tools can now draft a lesson plan, a worksheet, a quiz or a parent email in seconds. Many teachers have heard this; fewer have found a way to use the tools that actually saves time and still produces work they are happy to put in front of a class.

This course starts from your own week. Each day takes one part of a teacher’s work — planning, creating materials, assessing, communicating — and you try the tools that help with it on your own subject and your own students’ age. You use general assistants such as ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini or Claude, and tools made for teachers, such as MagicSchool, Curipod or Diffit, and design tools with AI features, such as Canva. The tools change quickly; the skills you learn — asking clearly, checking carefully, deciding when not to use AI — do not.

Three rules run through the week. You check everything before it reaches a student. You never put a student’s name, work or personal details into a tool. And you keep the parts of teaching that should stay human: knowing your students, and deciding what they need.

The level of the week matches what UNESCO’s AI Competency Framework for Teachers (2024) calls the first level every teacher needs: being able to “evaluate, select and use AI tools appropriately in education”.

Methodology

Hands-on every day

most of the time you work with the tools yourself or with a partner, on material from your own teaching.

One teacher's week

the days follow the work you do anyway — plan, create, assess, communicate — so everything you make can be used the week you are back.

Asking well

every session practises clear requests — the task, the context, the format, what to check — and improving a weak answer instead of accepting it.

Safe by default

no student data in any tool, every output checked, and a way to do every task without a device if a tool is not available.

What you'll take home

Use general AI assistants and teacher tools confidently, and explain what they can and cannot do.

Write clear requests (prompts) that give you usable lesson plans, materials and feedback, and improve a weak answer.

Plan and prepare one lesson from your own teaching with AI, checked against your curriculum.

Create a quiz, a rubric and feedback comments with AI, and redesign one homework task so it still works when students have AI.

Follow clear rules for students' data and for checking AI output.

A personal AI toolkit: tested prompts, your favourite tools and a plan for the time you will save.

Daily programme

  • Icebreaker: “The task I would hand over first” — each participant introduces themselves and names the one weekly task they would most like an assistant to do; the list stays on the wall all week
  • What AI assistants are: how they produce text, why they sound certain even when they are wrong, and what they are good and bad at in school
  • Hands-on: the same request to two different assistants, such as ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini or Claude — comparing the answers
  • Asking well: the task, the context (subject, age, level), the format and what to check — and asking again to improve a weak answer
  • The rules from day one: no student names, work or personal details in any tool; check the tools your school allows
  • Output: your personal prompt card, tested on three tasks
  • Warm-up: “Prompt relay” — groups improve one weak prompt in three rounds and compare the first answer with the last
  • Lesson plans and unit outlines drafted with AI, then fitted to your own curriculum, time and students
  • Ideas and activities: starters, discussion questions, games and projects — and checking whether they really work in your classroom
  • Tools made for teachers, such as MagicSchool or Curipod: what they add to a general assistant, and what they cost in time and data
  • Output: one lesson from your own teaching, planned with AI and revised by you
  • Texts and worksheets: reading texts at the right level, exercises and answer keys — with every fact and answer checked
  • Levelled versions of a text for different readers, with tools such as Diffit or a general assistant
  • Images and slides: design tools with AI features, such as Canva — and the questions of copyright and of telling students when an image is AI-made
  • Checking routine: correct, suitable for the age, free of stereotypes, and something you would sign your name to
  • Output: a materials pack for Tuesday's lesson
  • Quizzes and question banks for Tuesday's lesson, drafted with AI, with checked answers and a mix of easy and hard questions
  • Rubrics and success criteria for a task from your own lesson, written with AI and tested against three invented answers the AI writes for you — which you then mark yourself
  • Feedback: AI-drafted comments on invented student work, rewritten so they sound like you and help the student take the next step
  • Homework when students have AI: redesigning one task so it still shows real learning — in class, spoken, step by step, or about the student's own experience
  • Output: a quiz and a rubric for your lesson, and one redesigned homework task
  • Opening session — everyday work: emails to parents, newsletters, meeting notes and translations, drafted with AI and checked for tone
  • Your toolkit: the three or four tools you will really keep using, and the prompts that worked best for you
  • Time check: Monday's wall list revisited — which tasks now take less time, and which are better done without AI
  • A one-page note for your school: the rules you follow yourself, and what you will ask your school to decide — to share with colleagues and school leadership
  • Output: your personal AI toolkit and your plan for the first week back
  • Toolkits in plenary: two or three participants who want to show the prompt that saved them most time do so, by choice
  • Course evaluation and feedback
  • Certificate ceremony

Please note: sessions run from 09:30 to 15:00, Monday to Friday, with a break for lunch. Timings can shift a little to suit the venue and the group. If you'd like a specific topic covered, let us know when you apply — the confirmed day-by-day schedule is sent to registered participants ahead of the course.

Certificate: we issue the Certificate of Attendance to everyone who's present for at least 80% of the course — tracked with the daily sign-in sheet (see Certificate & assessment).

Equipment: a few of our courses ask participants to bring a laptop — check the day-by-day programme above, or ask us if you're not sure.

Need a formal invoice or proforma for your school's records? Ask us — we issue official invoices with the participant's name and course details.

Type your name above — clearly marked "SAMPLE" in the PDF, not an official document.

The real certificate is signed by your trainer and EMA's authorised signatory. Your own signature isn't on this document — it's captured separately, on the Europass Mobility document.

Need to verify a real certificate? Check it online using the serial number and participant's full name, or contact us directly — [email protected], OID E10304561.

Attendance

Tracked using a sign-in sheet with one signature per participant per day (paper or digital). This record is used to issue your Certificate of Attendance and Europass Mobility document. View sign-in sheet (PDF)

Output

Every participant leaves with a completed Dissemination & School Impact Plan — a step-by-step template for applying the course back at your school (see below).

Feedback

An end-of-course evaluation form is sent to every participant after the course ends — a chance to reflect on what you've learned and how you'll apply it, and it helps us keep improving the course for future participants.

Your paperwork

Keep your travel tickets, boarding passes and (if you used green travel) any related receipts — your school or National Agency may ask for these for their own Erasmus+ reporting.

How to prepare

You do not need any experience with AI. It helps to think of one lesson you will teach soon after the course — you will prepare it during the week. If you do not teach a class yourself, you can work on materials you prepare in your role, or on a sample lesson the trainer provides.

Please bring a laptop or tablet if you can; most sessions are hands-on. A phone works for some tasks, and if you do not have a device you work with a partner.

If you already use an AI assistant, you can work with your own account. If not, you do not need to create one before the course: you work in a pair with someone who has one, and the trainer shows each tool on the screen before you try it.

For your school / proposal

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 Certificate of Attendance and the co-signed Europass Mobility document.

Participants will complete a general course evaluation and event survey.

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

Follow-up support: an email group is created for idea exchange, self-evaluation materials are provided, and participants receive a follow-up check-in after 3 months — a chance to share which tools and prompts you kept using, and what they saved you.

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.

The Erasmus+ Programme Guide opens its digital transformation priority with the sentence “To support the successful digital transformation and address societal challenges such as AI or disinformation more effectively Europe needs education, training and youth systems that are fit for the digital age”, and goes on to describe the programme as playing “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). This course builds exactly those skills for teachers' everyday work: choosing and using AI tools to plan lessons, create materials and give feedback, with clear rules for students' data — so that a school's staff can use AI confidently and safely. Frame it in your own project's terms — your National Agency's current call will confirm exactly how it applies.

Yes. Monday starts from the beginning, and every tool is tried step by step. Teachers who already use AI can go further on the planning, assessment and toolkit days.

No. You do not need to buy anything for the course. Some tools have paid versions; during the week you work with what you and your partner can access, and the trainer shows the rest on the screen.

AI-Assisted Learning for the 21st Century Classroom is about written rules for AI decisions about students, and The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Personalized Learning is about adapting one lesson for different learners. This course is about the tools themselves — using them well, every week, for planning, materials, assessment and everyday work. Formative Assessment and Feedback in the Age of AI spends the whole week on assessment; here assessment is one day among five. And AI Literacy Course for Teachers is about what you teach your students about AI; this course is about the tools you use yourself.
