SayPro South Africa is dedicated to enhancing digital literacy across the country by leveraging Erasmus+ programs focused on artificial intelligence (AI) knowledge transfer. These cross-border initiatives connect South African educators, trainers, and communities with European experts to share best practices in AI education and digital skills development. By integrating AI concepts into curricula and training programs, SayPro empowers South Africans to understand and engage with emerging technologies confidently. These efforts aim to bridge the digital divide, foster innovation, and prepare citizens for the digital economy, making AI accessible and beneficial for diverse populations across South Africa.
Through Erasmus+ exchanges, SayPro facilitates workshops, seminars, and online courses that improve digital literacy at all levels, from basic computer skills to advanced AI programming.
