About FLAIR

The project


FLAIR stands for Fostering Learners’ AI Readiness. An international consortium with six European partner universities has launched the FLAIR project with the aim of supporting teachers in conveying AI literacy as well as developing tools for students to acquire AI skills through self-learning. The project is co-funded by Erasmus+ and runs from the beginning of October 2024 to the end of November 2026.

The sudden public availability of generative AI tools has acted as a catalyst for changes in pedagogy and learning. FLAIR will contribute to preparing learners to thrive in a society characterized by digital transformation by promoting an ethical and meaningful use of generative AI, thus fostering students’ AI readiness.

Overall, FLAIR will provide insight into the ongoing discourse on AI literacy in Europe, contribute to the advancement of AI literacy education and promote transversal skills.

Initially, comparative research on AI literacy frameworks, guidelines and policies will be carried out, contributing to an overview of European approaches. Two different approaches will then be developed to support learners in acquiring the necessary skills to use genAI responsibly and efficiently. These will include versatile and adaptable self-learning modules for students and transdisciplinary learning activities that are ready to use and can be embedded in existing courses.

The research conducted in Phase 1 results in a synthesis report that forms the basis of an AI skills framework identifying key transferable skills.

In Phase 2, the consortium members develop a blueprint and a comprehensive library of materials to enable educators to adapt the self-learning modules to their needs.

In phase 3, a toolkit for lecturers is published, focusing on skills that need facilitation. It is complemented by learning nuggets ready to be embedded in courses in various disciplines.
