AI Navigators Cyclades: digital ethics and responsible AI on the islands

Brings AI literacy and digital ethics to 60 secondary school students and 8 teachers in South Naxos and the Small Cyclades (Iraklia, Schinoussa, Koufonissia, Donoussa). The students already use generative AI tools every day. The project teaches them to use these tools critically, to check sources and to protect their privacy.

It runs from October 2026 to May 2027 and belongs to the pillar “Strengthening Island and Other Coastal Local Communities” of the “Points of Support” Program.
