On January 31, 2025, the team behind the AI in Entrepreneurship Learning in Schools project gathered virtually to discuss key developments, next steps, and essential project milestones. The online meeting, held at 12:00 PM CET, brought together partners from Greece, Poland, Austria, and Bulgaria to review progress, clarify action items, and coordinate upcoming tasks.
The meeting was part of an ongoing effort to integrate AI into entrepreneurship education for schools across Europe, supported by the Interactive Bulgaria Foundation (IBF), the project coordinator.
Meeting Highlights and Key Takeaways:
1. Project Update and Document Clarification
The meeting kicked off with an important document clarification. The project coordinator confirmed the need for signatures on a document's final page, which was promptly forwarded to Ioanna Papadimou (Greek partner) for completion. Furthermore, feedback regarding the online training for teachers was discussed, with the Polish partner raising points about improving accessibility and participation. This feedback will inform potential adjustments to the online course format.
2. Development of the AI Resource Center and Course Structuring
A major topic of the meeting was the development of a web-based AI Resource Center designed to provide resources for teachers and students. Partners discussed the content structure, as well as methods for incorporating valuable feedback to ensure the platform meets the needs of users.
The course for entrepreneurship teachers also took center stage. Each partner was assigned specific content creation responsibilities, with all materials set to be translated into the respective national languages. The project will host an online training session for teachers, aiming for 30 teacher participants per partner. This initiative is expected to bring together educators across Europe and create a network for AI and entrepreneurship education.
3. Timeline and Training Scheduling
As Vasilios Papadopoulos (Greek partner) raised concerns about finishing the online training by June, discussions centered around potential adjustments to the training schedule. While some partners, such as Julia (Polish partner), proposed extending the deadlines to improve participation, this will be further explored in upcoming planning meetings.
4. Timesheet Submission and Amendment Updates
The team emphasized the importance of submitting timesheets for Amendment 1 activities. The project coordinator provided a standardized timesheet template, with daily rates set at 90 euros for the first amendment.
5. Scheduling the Next Transnational Project Meeting (TPM)
Several proposed dates for the next Transnational Project Meeting (TPM) were discussed, with a potential window between May and July. Cost considerations, including the availability of partners, were key factors in the decision-making process. The team tentatively agreed on scheduling the meeting in May or June, depending on everyone's availability.
6. Reporting, Papers, and AI Competence Center Updates
The team reviewed the upcoming reporting requirements and the steps necessary for the next set of paper submissions. The project coordinator will provide further details on these processes in follow-up communications.
The AI Competence Center was also highlighted as a focal point, with preparations for content development and feedback distribution on track. The platform is expected to be ready by the end of March, with feedback forms scheduled to be sent out by April.
Action Items and Next Steps:
Feedback Collection: The project coordinator will circulate Google Forms to gather feedback on the AI Resource Center.
Content Structure Sharing: A draft structure for the educational content will be shared with all partners for consistency, with a final version due by August 28th.
Teacher Training Organization: The project coordinator will ensure online teacher training takes place before the end of June. Each partner will recruit 30 teacher participants for the training sessions.
Timesheet Template Distribution: A template for Amendment 1 timesheets will be sent to all partners.
Activity Deadline Adjustment: The deadline for specific activities will be extended by two weeks, with updates communicated in due course.
Amendment Updates: Revised amendments will be circulated, reflecting the changes discussed.
Reporting & Papers Guidelines: The project coordinator will outline detailed guidelines for reporting and paper submissions.
Next Steps:
The next steps for the team include finalizing the date for the upcoming TPM, ensuring training sessions are scheduled without conflict, and continuing the development of the AI Competence Center.
As the project progresses, the partners will maintain close communication to ensure that goals are met, and milestones are achieved. Regular updates will be shared with all involved stakeholders to maintain transparency and foster collaboration across countries.
Looking Ahead:
This online meeting served as a crucial step in advancing the AI in Entrepreneurship Learning in Schools project, setting clear priorities for the coming months. With robust coordination and ongoing feedback, the project promises to have a significant impact on the integration of AI into entrepreneurship education for European schools.
