The AI Curriculum for Adult Education (AIAE) project aims at addressing the exciting topic of artificial intelligence targeting a wide audience and non-technical professionals.

Co-funded by the Erasmus + programme of the European Commission, five partners from four European countries worked within the AIAE project together to develop materials for trainers in adult and professional education, as well as adult learners, who have little or no experience in the field of AI.

Under the framework of the project, the consortium created training material for trainers in adult education to strengthen their own digital skills and acquire knowledge over AI, but also learning material for adult learners to gain an overview of the fundamentals in the field of AI.

Six final products were produced during the course of the project:

• 12 briefings on key AI concepts,
• Audio-snippets from expert interviews,
• A toolkit for capacity building in AI beginner courses,
• An interactive online learning platform,
• A handbook of didactic concept and training material,
• Step-by-step guidelines for trainers in adult education.

All intellectual products from the AIAE project are publicly and freely available and can thus be used by all adult education institutions to develop their own trainings and by learners to expand their knowledge in the field. It is further noted that all intellectual products are available in the English language and the languages of all participating organisations.

The consortium includes the five following partners:

• Studio2B (Germany): is a Berlin-based social enterprise that pursues the goal of making vocational orientation and vocational training more modern, creative and digital by implementing a wide range of innovative concepts for young people and adults within Germany and worldwide such as e-learning courses, virtual company tours, 360° videos and VR trainings.
