THE ESAA LEADERSHIP NETWORK
A five month fellowship designed to connect underrepresented AI in education thought leaders to enrich the knowledge and thought leadership of the Alliance and the global discussions about AI in education. During the program, participants will exchange experiences, increase their global visibility, grow their network and become a part of the ESAA thought leadership network, which can be called on for conferences, papers, interviews and discussion panels as global leaders in this topic. The cohort groups will provide valuable feedback to the alliance and make recommendations for future activities.
It is imperative to represent more diverse experiences and knowledge of what AI in education is, can and should be!
Our fellows are inspiring leaders in AI in education who want to connect, network globally, learn from and with each other, and together change the global discussion on AI. Over five months, the fellowship cohort meets once a month to discuss specific topics and be inspired by invited guest speakers. During this time, the cohort will continue discussions and exchange ideas. A yearly cohort event will bring together all previous leadership fellows.
