Erasmus+ Project 2025-2027

Digital and AI Tools

Empowering Inclusive Mobility Through Technology

Welcome to the IDEAS Project Digital Repository

Here we’re building a collection of digital and AI tools designed to make vocational education more inclusive and accessible for everyone.

Through our Erasmus+ IDEAS project, we’ve been researching technologies that can genuinely help disadvantaged learners, whether they’re facing financial challenges, living with disabilities, or dealing with learning difficulties. These tools are meant to support vocational teachers and trainers as they guide students through international mobility experiences, from planning all the way through to follow-up.

What’s in this repository:

  • Accessibility tools – Text-to-speech, speech-to-text, and language simplification features for students with disabilities or language barriers
  • Personalized learning – Technologies that adapt to each student’s needs, helping them feel more confident about studying abroad
  • Mobility management – Digital solutions that cut down on paperwork and improve communication between schools and families

Note: We’re actively building this repository as our research continues. New tools will be added regularly, so please check back!
