This Youth@Work Seminar aims to support youth workers and educators in understanding Artificial Intelligence and its impact on youth employability, while strengthening their capacity to use AI responsibly, ethically and meaningfully in youth work and entrepreneurship education.

The seminar provides a safe learning space for participants to build AI literacy, explore digital and entrepreneurial competences and reflect on how youth work can support young people in navigating skills development, career guidance and future work pathways in the age of AI.

• Strengthen AI literacy and digital competence in youth work - Explore AI through the lens of DigComp 3.0, supporting informed and critical use of digital technologies with young people, while reflecting on ethics, safety and inclusion.
• Explore creativity and entrepreneurial mindset in the AI era - Use EntreComp to understand how creativity, initiative and entrepreneurial competences can be supported through AI in youth work practice.
• Understand the relationship between AI, skills and youth employability - Explore how AI is shaping skills needs and transitions into work for young people, with a focus on practical implications for youth work practice
• Learn from practice and innovation - Engage with Italian good practices through study visits, connecting AI, digital innovation, skills development and youth employability in real-life contexts.
