The TWEAK proposal was submitted to the Erasmus+ Forward-Looking Projects 2025 call — a highly competitive programme in which 88 proposals were submitted and only 3 were funded.
Although the proposal was not selected in this cycle, the evaluation feedback has directly informed a strategic restructuring phase aimed at reinforcing institutional alignment, partnership balance, and policy integration.
TWEAK Think, Write, Execute: mAstering Instructions for humans and Knowledge systems (AI) is an Erasmus+ project designed to improve structured communication and core basic skills in children aged 4 to 12. Through an innovative, easy-to-adapt methodology, TWEAK aims to strengthen not only literacy and mathematics, but also social inclusion, emotional regulation, and “learning how to learn.”
A unique feature of the TWEAK methodology is that it introduces children to the concept of artificial intelligence (AI) and teaches them how to communicate effectively both with each other and with AI systems—without using computers or digital devices. By focusing on the fundamentals of clear instruction and structured thinking, the project prepares young learners for the digital world while keeping activities fully analog and inclusive.
We would like to thank all consortium partners, educators, families, and supporters who contributed their time and expertise to the development and submission of the TWEAK proposal. Your collaboration and commitment to advancing education are greatly appreciated.
The TWEAK evaluation provided valuable external feedback regarding:
The need for stronger institutional alignment at national level
Clearer integration between pilot environments and formal partnership structures
A more balanced geographical and pedagogical representation
Greater policy anchoring and long-term sustainability planning
These insights have been instrumental in refining the conceptual and structural foundations of TWEAK.
We remain confident in the pedagogical strength of the core idea and its relevance to European priorities on basic skills, structured thinking, and responsible AI awareness in education.
Our next phase includes:
Building a more education-centred consortium, including institutions directly involved in teacher training and curriculum development
Strengthening formal commitments with pilot schools within participating countries
Refining the policy and sustainability framework
Consolidating the transnational dimension and impact strategy
We believe that the TWEAK concept addresses a critical educational need in Europe: teaching children how to think clearly, communicate precisely, and interact responsibly with emerging knowledge systems.
We are actively exploring future funding opportunities and new partnerships to relaunch the initiative with a stronger structural foundation.
Dedicated to supporting innovation and sustainability by helping businesses and organizations access EU funding opportunities. Together, we create impactful projects for a better future.
