Within the framework of the Digital Inclusion Initiative (DII) project, partners and members of the National Coalition for Digital Inclusion in North Macedonia continue to work together to support inclusive digital transformation and address emerging digital skills gaps.
As part of these joint efforts, AINOW Society, a member of the National Coalition, developed the AI literacy platform edu.ainow.mk. The platform was presented during the second meeting of the National Coalition, held on 21 April 2026 in Skopje and organized by MCEC Skopje.
edu.ainow.mk is a free AI literacy platform designed for teachers, students, school staff, and education leaders in the region. It is available in Macedonian, Albanian, and English, can be used offline, and operates without user tracking, making it accessible for schools and communities facing barriers related to connectivity, language, privacy, or institutional capacity. The platform brings together structured learning materials, practical examples, AI-related tools, a prompt bank, a test studio, a glossary, and curated resources to support the responsible and practical use of artificial intelligence in education.
By introducing this platform within the work of the National Coalition, the Digital Inclusion Initiative highlights the importance of expanding digital inclusion beyond connectivity. The edu.ainow.mk is a practical resource to the shared efforts of the Coalition and the wider DII consortium to promote inclusive, accessible, and locally relevant digital education in Western Balkans.
The communication activities of the Digital Inclusion Initiative also reflect the project’s contribution to EU accession priorities in the Western Balkans. Through its focus on digital inclusion and AI literacy, the project supports alignment with key European frameworks and policies related to digital transformation, inclusive growth, democratic governance, and social inclusion, including the Digital Agenda for Europe, the Economic and Investment Plan for the Western Balkans, the Gender Action Plan III (GAP III), and the Youth Action Plan.
By strengthening digital skills, promoting equal access to educational resources, and supporting inclusive participation in digital society, the DII project contributes to the broader EU accession process and promotes shared European values of inclusion, equality, participation, and innovation.
