The Project – Erasmus+ STTAIRS

The STTAIRS project, funded by the European Union’s Erasmus+ programme, works on designing training programmes that integrate artificial intelligence tools into teachers’ professional development.

Lack of specific training

Many educators have not received the training needed to use AI effectively, pedagogically, and ethically. This limits their ability to integrate AI into teaching and learning.

Need to modernise platforms

Existing online learning environments such as Moodle need updating to incorporate AI-driven personalisation, automated educational workflows and digital well-being monitoring features.

Concerns about responsible use

Widespread concerns about data privacy, algorithmic bias and equitable access require structured guidance to help teachers adopt AI responsibly and inclusively in their classrooms.

Five objectives. One goal.

Improve skills in the use of AI

To increase participants’ competences in the use of AI technologies by participating in specialized training actions, practical workshops, and collaboration with other training and research centers, aiming to effectively integrate advanced digital tools in teacher training.

Optimise the pedagogical design of online training

To review and reconfigure the instructional design of online training courses to integrate AI-supported digital content and activities that are accessible, inclusive, and personalized, using data analysis tools and collecting feedback from trainers and participants, in order to optimize the training experience.

Integrate sustainability and ethics

To integrate sustainability and ethical criteria in the use of digital technologies for training, selecting tools and resources with a lower environmental impact, raising awareness on the reduction of the digital carbon footprint, and promoting ethical and responsible educational practices in the use of AI.

Provide support resources on generative AI

To provide guides, training courses, and support materials specifically geared towards the use of generative AI in order to improve teachers’ skills, optimize their experience in the networked environment, and contribute to the development of a more flexible, inclusive, and sustainable digital education ecosystem in the long term.

Promote European cooperation

Essential Blocks Slider SubtitleTo promote the creation and strengthening of cooperation networks with other European training centers, establishing spaces for dialogue, working groups, and joint projects, in order to exchange good practices, create shared knowledge, improve the quality of education, and reinforce democratic participation.

Our main purpose is to develop AI-enhanced teacher training to boost educator well-being, satisfaction, and digital/pedagogical growth, while promoting inclusion and sustainability.

Through international cooperation networks, we aim to foster an equitable, forward-thinking educational ecosystem that prepares students for the responsible and efficient use of AI.
