Philosophical Counseling between Craftsmanship and Artificial Intelligence

THE PROJECT: PHILOSOPHY MEETS AI "Philosophical Counseling between Craftsmanship and Artificial Intelligence" is a high-quality Youth Exchange (KA152) designed to bridge the gap between the slow, reflective "craftsmanship" of human thought (Socratic Dialogue) and the hyper-speed of Artificial Intelligence.

THE CHALLENGE Young people are adopting AI tools (ChatGPT, Midjourney) faster than they are developing the critical skills to question them. There is a risk of becoming passive consumers. We aim to transform participants from "users" into "critical thinkers" who can guide the machine with ethical awareness.

METHODOLOGY & ACTIVITIES Strictly following Erasmus+ Youth Quality Standards, the 7-day mobility in Italy follows a progressive flow:

The Craft (Analog): Rediscovering face-to-face Socratic Dialogue, deep listening, and critical questioning without screens.

The Machine (Digital): Hands-on "Ethical Prompt Engineering" labs. Testing biases, fake news, and the limits of AI.

The Synthesis (Action): A "Philosophical Hackathon" where mixed-nationality teams solve ethical dilemmas using AI.

Outcome: Creation of a "Youth Ethical Manifesto on AI" to be disseminated across Europe.

CERTIFICATION 100% of participants will receive a Youthpass, focusing on Digital Competence, Citizenship, and Personal, Social & Learning to Learn skills.

PARTNER PROFILE We are looking for 4-5 motivated organizations (Youth Centers, NGOs, Cultural Associations) ready to act as co-designers. We expect you to:

Select participants (18-24) interested in both Technology and Humanities.
