▶Objectives
With recent advancements in AI technology, this project seeks to investigate and experiment on how AI can be used to address the unique needs and challenges of youth participation. By mapping current AI-driven practices, identifying underexplored opportunities, and prototyping three AI-enhanced tools, the project will create relevant insight and tested open-source prototypes in order to explore the possibilities of AI for digital youth work.
▶Activities
- Mapping current AI applications in digital youth work and participation processes used across Europe - Design and prototype three innovative digital tools aimed at enhancing youth engagement through AI - Capacity building of youth workers and young people on how to apply AI in youth participation processes through an international training - Testing the 3 tools in municipalities across different regions in Europe (1 in Belgium, 1 in Finland, and 1 in Portugal)
▶Impact
- Mapping Study on the use of AI in youth work and youth participation published - Three AI-driven prototypes designed to enhance youth participation in municipal decision-making - Increased capacity of youth workers to use AI applications in youth participatory processes - Educational curriculum for using AI in youth participatory processes - Implementation of prototypes in 3 municipalities in Belgium, Portugal and Finland, leading to valuable insights of their impact on youth participation
