Subject: Cluster Policy Conference in September 2025
OBS: Detta mail kommer från en avsändare utanför din organisation.
Dear coordinators and project managers,
We have just had a meeting with Bartek Lessaer, the new Policy Officer from DG EAC in charge of your topic, to discuss the planning and our potential institutional support to the Policy Conference of your cluster of projects.
Bartek is looking forward to the event and is happy to facilitate a large room for the meeting at one of the EC buildings. In this respect, please confirm the number of potential participants that you would expect. He will also take care of inviting relevant Policy Officers from across different Commission services that may be interested on your results and policy recommendations.
Also, we would like to propose the dates of Monday 29th and Tuesday 30th September for the conference. We will confirm whether the meeting will take place across the afternoon of that Monday and Tuesday morning, depending on the meeting room availability, but for now, please pencil in those days.
All five projects will be still running on those dates, which will facilitate the attendance of your representatives.
Incidentally, we would also like to invite a couple of other projects dealing with AI, up-skilling or related aspects. For example, Link4Skills<https://link4skills.eu/>
With regard to the questions to be addressed by you, let’s discuss at a separate online meeting in the coming days.
In principle, from our side, we would like to have a good understanding of the challenges and limitations from applying AI and other novel technologies in your different sectors.
However, we would also appreciate having your questions to us regarding the AI Act or whatever else you may consider important for the successful implementation of these technologies in education.
We will also expect clear policy recommendations from your side with regard to further research needs, the implementation of the AI Act, etc. Whatever you consider that is critical based on the scientific evidence that you have collected.
Please do not hesitate to let us know of any other points that you need clarification about.
Many thanks to all of you for your commitment and great work over these last three years.
From all four of us,

Hello everyone,
I hope you are doing good.
Recently, we have been advised by the Booster team we are in communication with to include some user experiences on our project website to disseminate how our work is received by the end users, teachers and students. To this end, we have embarked on publishing some quotes sent to us by the participants on the following two pages:
1. Get involved: https://extendt2.eu/call-for-teachers/ (see What our participants say)
2. Open Learn Course: https://extendt2.eu/open-learn-course/ (see What our participants say)
By the way, we would very much appreciate if you sent us 50-to-60 word quotes of the participants from your countries related to their reflection on their engagement to the Exten(D.T) project and/or Open Learn Course. We can also publish their headshots if they wish to be featured on our site. The following quotes, which are already on our site, may give some ideas for you to know what we are looking for:
Exten(DT)2 Project
"We all really enjoyed the Exten(D.T)2 project. I think breaking down the design process into different steps e.g. empathise and understand etc, allowed the children to reflect on what they were doing throughout the project and made it easier for me to understand too as the educator. It was well-linked to our Geography topic, global warming and gave the children opportunities to develop their research, teamwork skills and presentation skills. We would also definitely consider using these programmes again and linking them to other areas of the curriculum.” (Teacher from the school at Milton Keynes, UK)
Open Learn Course:
"I recently had the opportunity to participate in the "Teaching Design
Thinking with Digital Technologies" course, which enhanced my ability
to solve classroom challenges creatively. The baking cake analogy for
the design thinking model particularly intrigued me, motivating me to
complete the course successfully. This asynchronous, user-centric and
innovative course emphasised experiential learning through a
five-stage process: empathise, define, ideate, prototype, and test
with the integration of digital technologies like nQuire, ChoiCo,
SorBET, MaLT2, and GearsBot, all new to me. I’m deeply grateful to the
Open University, UK for this enriching experience." (Gobinda Puri, Teacher from Nepal)
Could you send them to us by 8th June, please?
If you have any other thoughts, please let us know.
Best,
Sagun
