FuturENG is a 3-year Erasmus+ initiative in higher education, bringing together students, university teachers and knowledge triangle stakeholders from 6 countries.
Its main objective is to develop innovative, multifaceted training programmes for engineering students and educators, co-created with industry, to ensure future engineers are equipped with the skills, knowledge and competences needed for the digital and green transition.

🚀 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗔𝗜 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻 🇮🇹

On 21–22 April, Acta Foundation had the pleasure to join partners for the final meeting of the Trust AI project, kindly hosted by Università degli Studi di Torino in the beautiful city of Turin 🇮🇹

Over two intensive days, we worked on finalising key results - from piloting and sustainability planning to quality assurance, impact, and dissemination. A true “Erasmus+ moment” of ideas, collaboration, and (lots of) coffee ☕

But beyond the meeting room, we also explored the city through a treasure hunt 🗺️- talking to strangers, solving clues, and even winning prizes.

Because strong partnerships are not only built through structured discussions - but also through shared experiences, laughter, and human connection.

We’re proud to be part of a project shaping trustworthy AI for the humanities and looking forward to what comes next.

On November 27, we successfully held the DWELL Focus Group Event – “The Teachers’ Voice” in Sofia, Bulgaria, bringing together:

✅ 4 focus groups
👩‍🏫 30+ teachers
🏫 15+ schools from across Bulgaria

Together, we explored the real impact of digital technologies on student well-being — from the positives of engagement and accessibility to challenges like distraction, stress, and digital fatigue.
🧠 Teachers shared their needs for supporting student well-being, as well as concrete policy recommendations for a healthier digital school environment.

📚 The insights gathered will directly shape the results of DWELL — a 3-year Erasmus+ Policy Experimentation project aiming to build safer, healthier, and more balanced digital spaces for students in Europe.

🙏 Huge thanks to all participating teachers for your dedication, openness, and commitment to change!
