Background of the ASEFClassNet Project Series

For over two decades, the ASEF Classroom Network has been providing capacity-building opportunities for collaborative teaching and learning and a platform to explore the potential of cutting-edge EdTech tools and the integration of ESD in secondary, high, and vocational schools in Asia and Europe. Its target group is broad, given its intergenerational & multi-stakeholder outreach. It ranges from students, teachers, school leaders, teacher trainers, researchers, policymakers, and to EdTech experts. Since its inception, more than 2,100 teachers from Asia and Europe have participated in various activities and become members of the ASEF Classroom Network. As a result, more than 35,000 students have been engaged in 430 Asia-Europe School Collaborations and local spin-off activities. Learn more about the ASEFClassNet Project series here.

ASEFClassNet17 Concept

ASEFClassNet17 is a hybrid project and took place both online and on-site throughout 2024. It engaged a diverse group of intergenerational participants on two tracks: (1) School Collaboration for secondary school teachers (2) Faculty Collaboration for teacher trainers and academics. The project started with a (7 to 8 months long) virtual capacity building phase in April 2024 and concluded with an on-site conference in November 2024.

Building up on the ASEFClassNet16 project that focused on “Leading Change: Digital Transformation of Education in the Era of AI”, the 17th edition of the ASEF Classroom Network (ASEFClassNet17) project series focuses on the topic “Learning about AI and Learning with AI”

ASEFClassNet17 Programme

ASEFClassNet17 is a hybrid project and is planned to take place both online and on-site throughout 2024. It aims to engage a diverse group of intergenerational participants on the project topic that focuses on two distinct yet interconnected buckets 1) Learning about AI and 2)  Learning with AI

There are two parallel tracks and platforms to engage with:

This activity is for teachers, trainee teachers, and school leaders at the secondary education level to develop their knowledge on the topic as well as advocacy and leadership skills for integrating ethical and effective AI innovation in classrooms across Asian and European schools.

This activity is for academic experts (professors, researchers, teacher trainers, etc.) in Higher Education Institutions to engage in critical and timely conversations on integrating ethical and effective AI innovation to identify crucial areas and work in partnerships to create collaborative resources on the topic based on the discussion findings.

Through these two platforms, the project aims to engage approximately 200 participants over a period of 8 months and to increase awareness and understanding of issues related to AI&ED and AIED based on effectiveness and a strong ethical foundation.

ASEFClassNet17 On-site Conference

After the virtual phase, outstanding participants were invited to join the on-site conference in Manila, Philippines between 11-15 November 2024 in partnership with the Philippine Normal University (PNU), the Association of Southeast Asian Teacher Education Network (AsTEN), International Research Centre on Artificial Intelligence (IRCAI) under the auspices of UNESCO and Open Education for a Better World (OE4BW). 

Over 100 outstanding educators from 33 Asian and European countries gathered to discuss transforming education and to drive critical conversation on ethical, effective, and responsible AI innovation in education at the secondary & vocational education levels.

Ambassador Beata STOCZYŃSKA, our Executive Director together with Ambassador Medardo G. MACARAIG, ASEF Governor for the Philippines, Dr Bert TUGA, President and Dr Marilyn U. BALAGTAS, Vice President for Academics of the Philippine Normal University (PNU), and John Carlo Ramos, Executive Director of Association of Southeast Asian Teacher Education Network (AsTEN), warmly welcomed the participants on behalf of organisers and partners during the conference/
 
During the conference, participants embarked on diverse programme elements such as keynotes, workshops, peer-to-peer discussions to deepen their knowledge from the virtual knowledge building phase. With an outstanding cultural performance by the PNU students, the participants also got a glimpse of the local culture, diversity and tradition.
