TC Future Makers: AI in Youth Education
From 17-23 January 2026, I had the incredible opportunity to take part in the training course “FUTURE MAKERS: AI in Youth Education” in the beautiful region of Międzybrodzie, Beskid Mały, Poland. The program was organised by Klaster Innowacji Społecznych, and thanks to Youthfully Yours SK, we proudly represented Slovakia. This experience became far more than just a training program it was a meaningful journey into the future of technology and youth empowerment.
Today, artificial intelligence is everywhere. It shapes industries, transforms workplaces, and influences how we learn and create. However, this course helped me realize something deeper: AI is not just a tool, but a powerful force that can inspire young minds, unlock creativity, and open doors to new opportunities.
Throughout the week, I was fully immersed in an environment of creativity, collaboration, and hands-on learning. We explored how AI can support youth work, enhance educational practices, and foster innovation. I gained not only technical knowledge about how AI works, but also a clearer understanding of how it can empower young people to think critically, solve real-world problems, and actively shape the future they want to live in.
This training significantly strengthened my skills and boosted my confidence in using AI more effectively in my professional and educational work. I now feel better equipped to integrate these tools into my practice and to inspire others to embrace the possibilities of digital transformation.
I am truly grateful for this opportunity. A heartfelt thank you to Klaster Innowacji Społecznych and Youthfully Yours SK, as well as to everyone involved, for creating such a supportive, inspiring, and forward-thinking learning environment. This experience will stay with me and it will continue to influence the way I teach, learn, and support young people in the years to come.
