Department for Education (DfE)
Distributed toolkit to discuss AI in schools
We are working with DfE to develop a creative engagement toolkit to support participatory sessions with children and young people (ages 10–18) in schools, colleges, youth groups, and community settings. The toolkit will help facilitators gather youth perspectives on generative AI in education, with a focus on what they want technology companies to consider.
Resources
The ‘Generative AI in Education: Have your Say’ Workshop in a Box provides adaptable resources for holding discussions with students aged 10 - 18 on benefits and problems of AI in education, supporting deliberation on the issues it raises, and suggesting a range of ways to express feedback.
Between November 3rd and December 15th 2025 a feedback platform is available to submit the outcomes of workshop sessions as an input to the DfE AI in Education Summit taking place in early 2026.
Opinion
We’ve been creating a small toolkit to help schools, colleges and informal education settings to discuss Generative AI in Education. This blog post reflects on elements of the development process.
