Individuals and organisations welcome
Tentative schedule
An outline, not a timetable — trainers adapt it to the group in front of them.
Research
Day 1
Welcome and introductions. Expert talk on AI fundamentals, ethics and responsible use, and on the difference between human creativity and machine generation. Group mapping of where AI has already arrived in participants' work.
Discover & Experience
Day 2
Hands-on experimentation with accessible tools across image, writing, video, audio and educational content. Prompting practice, comparison of outputs, and a hard look at what each tool gets wrong.
Co-create
Day 3
Teams design one creative educational project where AI assists rather than authors. Concept, division of labour between human and tool, ethical decisions documented as they are made.
Co-create
Day 4
The piece gets made. Teams keep a record of what was generated, what was rejected and why.
Co-create
Day 5
Working session on AI guidelines for schools and youth organisations — what to permit, what to disclose, what to keep human. Each participant drafts one for their own context. Final preparation of Saturday's presentation.
Share & Public Engagement
Day 6
Public presentation of the creative work and the ethical reasoning behind it, followed by open discussion. Reflection, certificates and closing.

Practical details
Attend at least 80% of the sessions and you leave with an ARTIT Certificate of Attendance, handed to you at the closing session on the last day. If your sending organisation needs Europass Mobility documentation, tell us when you register and we will prepare it.
The course runs over six consecutive days. Each day sits either in the morning or in the afternoon block, and we decide which closer to the date. The schedule is indicative, not a timetable: trainers adapt it to the group, and walking tours and site visits may change with weather, opening hours and availability. The last day, when the work goes public, runs longer. The final schedule reaches you two weeks before you travel.
Anything that comes as a ticket or a pass is yours to use on whichever day suits you, including the free half of each course day and the Sunday after. Nothing is added in its place if you use it early. Opening hours in Athens shift with the season, and visits may be rescheduled if a venue is closed or the weather does not allow it.
No laptop needed. Bring a phone or camera for documentation, clothes and shoes you do not mind getting wet or dirty, a hat and a refillable water bottle. Gloves, bags and all making materials are provided.
