Description

This course explores the intersection of Artificial Intelligence, ethics, and education through creative theatre and narrative-based pedagogy. Participants engage with key concepts such as algorithmic bias, digital identity, responsibility, and emerging technological futures, while developing critical media literacy and ethical reasoning. Through drama-based methodologies—including improvisation, forum theatre, and process drama—participants co-construct speculative narratives that examine the societal implications of AI. The course emphasises experiential learning, collaboration, and reflective practice, enabling educators to translate complex digital issues into accessible and meaningful classroom experiences. Aligned with Erasmus+ priorities on digital transformation and inclusion, the programme fosters creativity, critical thinking, and active citizenship in the context of rapidly evolving digital environments.

Learning Objectives

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Understand key concepts of Artificial Intelligence and its societal impact

• Analyse ethical challenges related to AI, including bias, fairness, and accountability

• Apply drama-based pedagogies to explore complex digital and ethical issues

• Foster critical thinking and media literacy in learners

• Design creative, inclusive learning experiences on AI and digital futures

• Facilitate discussions on responsibility, identity, and agency in digital contexts

• Develop narrative-based approaches to teaching emerging technologies

• Integrate interdisciplinary methods linking arts, ethics, and digital education

Methodology and Assessment

The course adopts an experiential, learner-centred approach combining drama pedagogy, collaborative learning, and reflective practice. Participants engage in hands-on activities, group work, and micro-teaching. Assessment is continuous and formative, based on participation, peer feedback, reflective journaling, and the development of practical classroom applications and final creative projects.

Materials, Digital Tools & Other Learning Resources

Participants will use a range of creative and digital tools, including storytelling frameworks, drama techniques, and collaborative platforms. Suggested tools include ChatGPT, Padlet, Canva, and fact-checking resources. All materials, templates, and activity guides will be provided in digital format for classroom adaptation.

Preparation

After registration participants will receive pre-course questionnaire which will be used by the trainer to learn about participants’ teaching backgrounds and to assess their exact needs. Before the beginning of the course a basic reading list will be suggested to participants to prepare for the training. Participants will also be asked to prepare a presentation about themselves, their professional context and their culture which will be presented during the course. Participants will receive information about the country they are going to visit in order to prepare them for their cultural experience.

Follow up

After the course participants will be asked to share what they have learned with the rest of the staff in their schools. Further books and articles to deepen the topic and contacts with some other practitioners all over Europe and in the world will be suggested by the trainer. The methods shared and explored and the bibliography given will allow the participants to complete and improve their educational path.
