World Education at COABE 2026: Digital Literacy, AI, and Professional Development - World Education Our experts will be sharing insights on digital literacy and professional development.

Today, on National AI Literacy Day, we explore what a lifespan approach to AI literacy actually looks like as it shapes our world.

AI literacy builds over time, across contexts, and through community. Building on the DOL's newly released AI Literacy Framework, our latest blog explores what it means to support that journey across life stages: from young people learning to critically evaluate AI tools, to adult learners building foundational skills, to older workers whose judgment and experience are exactly what responsible AI use requires.

AI literacy may be the defining skill-building opportunity of our time. The question is how to build an approach expansive enough to meet people where they are.

"Eu Sou Capaz is about more than access to education — it is about removing the invisible barriers that stop girls from thriving," says Obert Darara, JSI’s World Education Country Lead in Mozambique. "By integrating social and behaviour change with human-centred design, we are supporting the National Youth Institute to redesign systems around girls’ realities, so enrolment becomes achievement."

We are combining community mobilization approaches with life-skills education and material support, while focusing on root causes. Learn more about the project: https://worlded.org/world-education-awarded-eu-sou-capaz-technical-assistance-activity-mozambique/
