“Harnessing AI and digital technologies to empower young people at risk”
11 March 2026 | 10:30–12:30 CET | Online

It was closely linked to Cedefop’s 2026 call for papers on Harnessing artificial intelligence and digital technologies for inclusive and resilient vocational education and training.
The recording of the webinar will soon be available.
