AI in School Competition
Schools from across Europe are invited to enter the Best AI School Policy Competition. The competition recognises policies that have moved beyond general principles and resulted in practical, positive change within the school.
Each school must submit:
- An English-language copy of its AI school policy
- A five-slide presentation covering:
- The goals of the policy
- How and why the policy was developed, including who was involved
- The direct actions that resulted from the policy
- The measurable impact of the policy
- Advice for other schools developing or implementing an AI policy
- A QR code linking to the complete policy in English
The strongest submissions will be shortlisted. Representatives from the shortlisted schools must be available to present their five slides during the festival on Thursday, 11th February, and participate in a short question-and-answer session.
Finalists will receive presentation guidance to help them prepare.
Entries will be assessed according to:
- The clarity and relevance of the policy
- Involvement of teachers, students, school leaders and other stakeholders
- Evidence that the policy has resulted in direct action
- Evidence of measurable impact
- How easily the approach could be adapted by other schools
Prizes of up to €1,000 will be awarded during the festival dinner.
The policy and five-slide presentation should be submitted to [email protected] with the subject line ‘Best AI School Policy Competition’.
Deadline for submission: 31st January 2027
