CitizenAI is a ready-to-use educational programme designed to introduce young people to artificial intelligence, with a specific focus on generative AI. It supports both teachers and facilitators in delivering structured, engaging sessions that build critical understanding and responsible use of AI technologies among learners aged 13 to 17. 

The programme is organised into two complementary learning pathways: 

Pathway 1: understanding artificial intelligence and generative AI 

This pathway helps learners explore how artificial intelligence works, with a focus on generative AI systems. Structured in 7 steps, it provides a clear and accessible introduction to what AI is — and what it is not. Learners discover how AI systems process data, learn from patterns, and generate outputs, while also understanding their limitations. 

Pathway 2: using generative AI responsibly 

This second pathway focuses on practical use and can be implemented individually or in group settings. Delivered in 6 steps, it supports learners in developing effective and responsible usage habits when interacting with generative AI tools.

Each pathway is supported by a comprehensive pedagogical guide, enabling educators to implement the activities easily in classroom or workshop settings, with no prior expertise in AI required. CitizenAI is aligned with secondary education curricula (Cycle 4 and upper secondary level) and contributes to the development of essential digital literacy, critical thinking, and responsible technology use skills.
