🤖 Join the “Plugged In” Erasmus+ Youth Exchange – Explore the World of Artificial Intelligence in Lithuania! 🇱🇹

💡 Project Overview

Step into the future with “Plugged In”, an Erasmus+ Youth Exchange that brings together young minds from across Europe to explore artificial intelligence, digital innovation, and ethical technology! 🌍✨

Hosted in the peaceful countryside of Bartninkai, Lithuania, this unique learning experience invites you to discover how AI can shape creativity, education, and our daily lives. Whether you’re a digital native or just starting to explore technology, this project offers hands-on workshops, teamwork, and reflection in a friendly, non-formal environment.

You’ll dive into engaging activities where learning by doing is key — experimenting with digital tools, discussing AI ethics, and building your own small-scale tech projects. By the end, you’ll gain not only new digital skills but also the confidence to use AI responsibly and creatively. 💬⚙️
