On January 27th, Budakov Films, in collaboration with INI-Novation GmbH, celebrated a significant milestone with the first online Kick-off Meeting for the Erasmus+ co-funded project, Navigating AI Regulations: A Practical Guide (Project No: 2024-2-DE02-KA210-VET-000287096).
This project is set to empower trainers and freelancers in the creative industry with essential AI knowledge, digital skills, and an in-depth understanding of EU policy, especially in light of the emerging AI Act.
A Strong Collaborative Start
Moderated by the project lead INI-Novation GmbH, the Kick-off Meeting laid down a robust foundation for the project. Detailed discussions revolved around key elements such as:
- Project Management
- Dissemination Plan
- Quality Assurance Plan
These discussions ensured that all partners are aligned in their commitment to delivering a structured and effective project.
Three Core Activities Driving the Project
The initiative is structured around three fundamental activities:
- Establishing Training Scope and EQF Level 3 Alignment
This initial phase will define the training program structure to ensure it meets recognized educational standards. Participants will gain practical competencies directly related to AI regulations, setting the stage for a well-rounded educational experience. - Producing the Training Program “AI-Driven Creativity: Advanced Training for Digital Innovators”
A bespoke training program is being developed to feature structured modules and engaging instructional videos. The program will cover critical topics including AI regulations, risk management, compliance, transparency, and data governance tailored for the creative industry. - Hands-On Training and Community Engagement
Interactive workshops and community events will offer participants practical, real-world applications of their AI knowledge. These sessions aim to foster active engagement among trainers, freelancers, and local stakeholders, ensuring that learning is both dynamic and applicable.
