"This money should boost creative digital media ideas," said Ties Rabe, Senator for Education. Around EUR 550,000 have been invested in media skills promotion since 2021. The previously unallocated funds will now be used to deepen the understanding of AI in educational projects. "Projects give children, young people and adults an opportunity to deal with various aspects of AI. They learn how AI solves problems, to be creative and can understand and query the opportunities and challenges of AI," he added.
