How can we help young people navigate generative AI safely – and with confidence? As AI becomes part of young people’s everyday lives, educators and youth workers face new questions about safeguarding their physical and mental wellbeing.

This workshop offers a space to explore these challenges and practical ways to respond. Drawing on the AI Youth Safeguarding Principles developed through the Erasmus+ project “enactAI”, we will discuss what safeguarding means in the age of AI and how these principles can inform everyday practice.

Whether you work in formal education, non-formal learning or youth work, join us to share experiences, hopes and concerns – and explore ways to support young people with greater confidence.
