On January 14, 2026, the Copernicus Science Centre Conference Centre in Warsaw hosted the Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps Forum—one of the most significant events dedicated to the quality, impact, and dissemination of results from projects implemented under both programs.

At the invitation of the National Agency for the Erasmus+ Program, we had the honor of participating and sharing our experiences from the project "A.utism I.ntegration – developing AI-based educational tools to support the social integration of young people with cognitive disabilities" (2024-1-PL01-KA210-YOU-000256352).

Our representative spoke during the session "Meeting with Best Practices: How to increase project value through effective dissemination?" where she discussed translating innovative solutions into real social change and ensuring project results outlive the funding period.

The panel covered several key topics, including:
– The responsible use of artificial intelligence in education and youth work;
– Creating tools that are not only technologically advanced but, above all, accessible and inclusive;
– The importance of language, narrative, and communication forms in disseminating social project results;
– Building lasting project impact through collaboration with educators, trainers, and institutions working directly with young people.

A particularly important theme was the reflection that technology—including AI—is not an end in itself. It can, however, become a powerful tool for fostering empathy, understanding, and dialogue if designed with the real needs of users in mind, rather than focusing solely on innovation.

The forum also served as an excellent space for networking and exchanging experiences with organizations from across Poland that, like us, view Erasmus+ and the European Solidarity Corps as tools for genuine social change rather than just a source of funding.

We thank the National Agency for the invitation, the opportunity to speak, and for creating a space for substantive, in-depth discussion on the quality, responsibility, and future of educational projects. We return from Warsaw with renewed energy, inspiration, and the conviction that well-planned dissemination of results has the real power to change the world—one small but vital step at a time.
