The AIInclusion project takes as its starting point the fact that AI is already used in classrooms, but without guidance connecting that use to inclusive pedagogy. The project responds by producing the first European curriculum linking AI use to inclusion in compulsory education. It does not treat AI as a solution to inclusion, but as a tool whose value depends on the teacher’s capacity to understand its potential and to decide, in each classroom situation, whether and how it actually serves the learner. The project places the horizontal priority of inclusion and diversity at the centre of its design.
The general objective of the project is to foster inclusion in primary and lower-secondary education by developing teachers’ competence to use AI critically with diverse learners.
The specific objectives of the project are:
1) To adapt and contextualise the UNESCO AI Competency Framework for Teachers to the European compulsory education context, with a focus on inclusion.
2) To develop a modular curriculum that translates the framework into competence pathways, learning outcomes and classroom-ready scenarios for teachers at these levels.
3) To deliver, pilot and evaluate a training package that enables teachers to apply the curriculum in real classroom settings across four countries.
The main programme activities include:
The expected outputs of this project are:
1. An EU-contextualised competence framework linking AI and inclusive education.
2. A curriculum blueprint with competence pathways, progression levels and learning outcomes.
3. An AI and Inclusion Compass, a visual tool for teachers.
4. A training package validated through classroom piloting
5. A handbook documenting at least 20 inclusive classroom cases.
6. A policy brief for education authorities.
7. An evaluation report on teacher development and inclusion.
8. A microcredential framework for recognising the competences acquired.
The Allnclusion project will have a meaningful impact on students, teachers and schools as institutions. It will give teachers a coherent professional frame of reference that they currently lack, enabling them to use AI more effectively in support of inclusion in the classroom. The final beneficiaries are students in compulsory education, particularly those aged 9-14 who face linguistic and cognitive barriers to learning. They will gain from improved teaching practices and more inclusive classroom environments.
The project is expected to:
