ArInLi: An Essential Digital Competency: AI Literacy
Description
ArInLi (Artificial Intelligence for Inclusion) is an Erasmus+ strategic partnership focused on fostering digital inclusion and European citizenship through a series of transnational learning mobilities.
The project brings together schools from Spain, Türkiye, Italy and Germany to explore the social and ethical impact of Artificial Intelligence. ArInLi is structured around international exchanges, where students travel to partner countries to work in mixed-nationality teams. The core objective is to develop soft skills (intercultural communication, teamwork) alongside digital awareness.
While the project covers specific technical activities—such as a workshop on Python during one mobility—the primary focus is on the human dimension of technology. All the experiences, student blogs, and mobility outcomes are documented and accessible through our central hub: arinli.info. This platform serves as a window into how European students from diverse backgrounds co-create a more inclusive digital future.
Funded by the European Union.

The research and content generation of ArInLi was conducted directly during the transnational mobilities. Each international meeting functioned as a "living laboratory" where students and teachers from different countries investigated a specific facet of Artificial Intelligence (from ethics and bias to technical implementation like Python).
The ArInLi Book and the project website (arinli.info) are the direct results of this collaborative learning process. Instead of theoretical research produced in isolation, our reports are a synthesis of the knowledge co-created during the exchanges.
The consolidation of this work is structured as follows:
- Field Research: During each mobility, participants gathered data, tested tools, and debated AI concepts.
- Codification of Knowledge: This accumulated wisdom was systematized and documented to create the ArInLi Book, which serves as the comprehensive compendium of the project.
- Digital Dissemination: The website acts as a dynamic repository, hosting the digital version of the research findings, student projects, and the full curriculum developed through the international partnership.
Papers
The project was structured around distinct Thematic Mobilities, where each international exchange focused on a specific pillar of our learning path (e.g., AI Ethics, Technical Introduction, Social Inclusion). These mobilities served as the practical laboratories where our methodology was tested.
All the resulting educational tools are consolidated in the ArInLi Book and expanded upon on our Project Website (arinli.info).
1. The ArInLi Book (Methodological Guide): Available for download on the site (https://arinli.info/). This publication acts as the core manual. It details info about what is AI, how it works, application of AI in Education, Ethics related to AI and AI tools (general and for education).
2. The Project Website: Far more than a repository, the website functions as a dynamic toolkit for the educational community, featuring: Mobility Summaries & Visuals: detailed recaps and infographics of each international exchange, helping teachers visualize the activities.
AI Tools Repository: A curated selection of general AI tools and specific AI applications for Education, vetted for classroom use.
SEN Section (Special Educational Needs): A dedicated area with resources and tools specifically selected to support students with learning difficulties, ensuring the digital transition is inclusive.
Dissemination & Impact: A collection of press appearances, articles, and public presentations that validate the project's reach.
Teachers can use the Book for the pedagogical framework and the Website to access direct links to recommended AI tools and specific resources for inclusion
