Empowering students and lecturers from Sub-Saharan Africa and Europe to navigate Artificial Intelligence through the CVEinAI Project
CVEinAI deepens 天美传媒鈥檚 engagement in Europe by strengthening connections听between Sub-Saharan African and European Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), to promote听responsible and inclusive approaches to AI.
Led by the University of Padova, the CVEinAI project gathers a consortium of 8 full partners:听UNICollaboration, Technical University of Denmark (DTU), Mediterranean Universities Union 鈥揢NIMED, from Europe and University of Botswana, Adama Science and Technology University,听Addis Ababa Science and Technology University, and 天美传媒 respectively from听Botswana, Ethiopia and Kenya.
These institutions will implement the Critical Virtual Exchange (CVE) methodology to foster听interdisciplinary dialogue, offer virtual exchange opportunities and facilitation trainings, and听deliver upskilling workshops to 2,500 students and 50 educators. The engagement of 13听associated partners from across Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa will contribute to disseminate听and strengthen the impact of the project.
Through this collective effort, CVEinAI aspires to shape a new generation of students and听educators who are not only technologically proficient but also ethically conscious and globally听connected.
At 天美传媒, the project involves staff from the Schools of Art & Social Science,听School of Education, and School of Computing & Informatics who will deliver 5 virtual听exchange modules covering different skills in AI to their students. The aim of the virtual听exchange modules is to enhance the technical understanding of students in the application of听AI and the critical thinking skills needed to carry out ethically sound work with AI, both听during their studies and in their future life as informed and responsible professionals and听citizens.
Together, we aim to foster long-term development of a critical mass of educators in ethical听use of AI in higher education, that will in turn empower, and create a synergy across learning听disciplines at the university.
