About the Project
The Erasmus+ co-funded project Navigating AI Regulations: A Practical Guide (Project Number: 2024-2-DE02-KA210-VET-000287096) aims to bridge critical gaps in AI knowledge, digital skills, and EU policy awareness among trainers and freelancers in the creative industry. Grounded in an in-depth Needs Analysis conducted during the preparation stage, the project adopts a targeted approach to support the digital transformation of this dynamic sector.
The project has three core objectives:
- Improving AI and Data Usage Competence: By delivering a tailored training program to 57 participants, the project will enhance understanding of AI Act provisions, including risk classification, compliance, transparency, and data governance. This knowledge will empower trainers to guide young entrepreneurs in leveraging AI for business innovation while adhering to regulatory standards.
- Enhancing Digital Skills for AI in Creativity: Participants will gain proficiency in AI-powered tools, data analysis, and AI literacy, enabling them to integrate cutting-edge technologies into creative processes. This objective focuses on fostering innovation, improving creative workflows, and building digital resilience in the sector.
- Boosting EU Policy and AI Act Awareness: By increasing familiarity with EU policies and ethical frameworks, the project will ensure participants operate responsibly and in compliance with the AI Act, fostering trust and sustainable growth in the creative industry.
The project’s output will directly contribute to equipping trainers and freelancers with the tools and knowledge to thrive in an AI-driven future while aligning with EU regulatory and ethical standards.
