Workshops developed after LTTA3 in Portugal
Students workshops
On the 13th of February 2026, as part of the local dissemination of the Erasmus+ SMaile Project, a lecture on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and education was delivered to 83 students from Escola Secundária Jerónimo Emiliano de Andrade (ESJEA). The event took place at the Luís da Silva Ribeiro Public Library and Regional Archive, in Angra do Heroísmo.
The session aimed to raise students’ awareness of how AI can be used to study more effectively and efficiently, while promoting a critical and responsible approach to these emerging technologies. Students were introduced to practical strategies for using AI tools to support learning, research, revision, and independent study.
​
A key focus of the lecture was the development of effective prompting skills. Students learned techniques for writing clear, specific, and well-structured prompts in order to obtain more accurate, relevant, and useful responses from AI systems. Through practical examples, they explored how the quality of a prompt can significantly influence the quality of the output generated by AI tools.
​
The lecture encouraged students to view AI not as a replacement for learning, but as a powerful tool that can enhance understanding, creativity, and academic performance when used responsibly. The activity contributed to the development of digital literacy skills and supported the objectives of the Erasmus+ SMaile Project in promoting innovative and informed uses of Artificial Intelligence in education.
The high level of participation and engagement demonstrated the growing interest of young people in understanding and harnessing the potential of AI to support their educational journey and future careers.
Teachers workshops
On 6th February 2026, as part of the local dissemination activities of the Erasmus+ SMaiLE Project, a lecture for teachers was organised in collaboration with the school’s library, Almeida Garrett School Library.
