The digitalization of education and training brings significant opportunities but also raises concerns about the safety, health, and well-being of both learners and educators.
The 29th ENETOSH Network Meeting will address these themes in two focused sessions.
Session 1: Integrating AI in Education and Training Responsibly
The first session explores how digitalization—especially through AI-based tools—can be systematically and humanely integrated into educational practices. Highlighted will be Austria’s eEducation initiative by the Federal Ministry of Education, Science, and Research, which is currently piloting AI learning software in select “AI Pilot Schools.” Additionally, the session will introduce the “FriendlyTechCheck” dialog tool, developed as part of the “HUMAINE” project at the University of Duisburg-Essen. This tool assists organizations in assessing psychosocial risks and benefits when implementing AI technologies in the workplace.
Session 2: Improving the quality of education through the Good Healthy School Initiative (GHSI)
The second part highlights the Good Healthy Schools Initiative (GHSI), which is led by the Department of Education and Health of Leuphana GmbH, a subsidiary of Leuphana University Lüneburg, in cooperation with the UNESCO Chair for Global Health & Education, Paris. The GHSI aims to establish health and safety as an integral part of the school education framework to promote both health and learning outcomes. Through a holistic approach that strengthens the entire school community, the approach understands health as the basis for academic success. The initiative aims to build a network that brings together decision-makers from the education and health sectors to improve the mental, emotional, physical and social well-being of students and teachers, and thus improve the quality of education in the long term.
The event is organized in collaboration with the Department of Education and Health, Leuphana GmbH – Leuphana University, Lüneburg, Germany and the UNESCO Chair Global Health & Education, Paris, France.
The event will take place online on December 10, 2024 from 1:00 to 3:30 pm (CET).
