Highlights from the July Team Meeting and Key Takeaways

In today’s fast-changing educational world, using artificial intelligence (AI) is crucial, especially for organizations that support migrants. The recent monthly meeting for the AI-Competence in Education for Migrant Organizations Project showcased the collaborative work of different partners aiming to enhance educational approaches with AI. This meeting served as a platform to reflect on previous achievements and set the stage for future training and professional development initiatives.

Review of the April Workshop in Izmir

The meeting began with a review of the April workshop in Izmir. Participants shared insights about the workshop's goals and outcomes. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, demonstrating that the workshop successfully met the needs of attendees and the wider community.

Participants reported a 95% satisfaction rate, with many expressing that the hands-on sessions equipped them with practical tools. Success stories highlighted how AI is transforming educational practices for migrant communities, including a case where an organization improved its homework support system by 40% using AI-driven tutoring software.

Looking Ahead: Upcoming Workshop in Izmir

The next workshop is scheduled for October 26 to November 1, 2025. This timeline offers a valuable chance for partners to build on their previous experiences while integrating new insights from recent discussions.

Given the positive feedback from the previous workshop, anticipation is high for what this upcoming event will bring. However, participation is limited to two representatives from each partner organization due to budget constraints. This limitation emphasizes the need for effective communication among partners, ensuring that the most important insights and ideas are shared.

Defining Focus: Workshop Title and Topics

The central theme of the upcoming workshop will be "Digitalization in Immigrant Organizations with a Focus on AI." This title highlights the goal of enhancing digital skills while tackling the particular challenges faced by immigrant organizations.

All partners are encouraged to choose specific topics within this overarching theme, promoting a rich exchange of knowledge and expertise. For example, topics may include AI applications for language learning or tools for enhancing job readiness among migrants. This strategy fosters both individual responsibility and teamwork, allowing each organization to uniquely contribute to our shared objectives.

Project Dissemination Strategy

Dr. Yahya Wardak has developed an informative flyer as part of the project dissemination strategy. It is vital for all partners to review this material carefully. The flyer will be an essential resource for raising awareness and disseminating knowledge about the project.

Every partner should promptly communicate their printing needs to facilitate effective dissemination of information. This proactive step will make sure resources are available where they are most needed.

Final Thoughts on Collaboration and Action Items

The meeting wrapped up with an "Any Other Business" section, where partners could bring up any additional topics or concerns. The collaborative spirit throughout the meeting highlighted how important teamwork is in enhancing AI competence in education for migrant organizations.

The collective efforts of participants, including Ms. Cornelia from Advisa, Bashir Ahmad Bashir from Afghan Tips, and representatives from BizLinks and Afghanic, reflect a unified commitment to improving educational strategies.

Key action items were agreed upon, such as reviewing the project flyer, sharing printing needs, and finalizing workshop topics. By promoting clear communication and accountability, the project will advance in empowering migrant communities and enhancing educational outcomes.

Moving Forward Together

The initiative to boost AI competence in education through collaborative workshops is a significant step toward solving the unique challenges faced by migrant organizations. By learning from past successes and sharing ideas proactively, the project aims for a lasting impact.

As we prepare for the next workshop in Izmir, it becomes clear that our shared commitment to education and professional development will lead to meaningful changes. The collaboration among diverse partners in this project creates a supportive network, creating opportunities for transformative educational experiences.

With initiatives like these, we ensure that the future of education for migrant organizations is not only responsive but also proactive, building a foundation for sustainable growth and inclusivity. As the world changes, our strategies must adapt to guarantee that every learner has access to the resources and opportunities they need to thrive.
