ASDO joins the European Network of Cultural Centres (ENCC)
October 20, 2026
On 3–4 November 2026, the North-South Intercultural Conference in Andorra la Vella brought participants together to discuss Intercultural Dialogue in the Age of AI. ASDO, as part of the Global Education Network, presented BiblioTech during one of the conference’s parallel workshops. They shared how libraries and community spaces in Albania can support digital learning and bring young people from different backgrounds together.
Through BiblioTech, young people work on shared projects that give them opportunities to hear different perspectives, contribute their own ideas and make decisions together. Furthermore, the presentation connected this experience to AI literacy. It highlighted how community spaces can help young people develop the skills to use AI and evaluate what it produces.
That means practicing how to check information, question assumptions and recognize whose perspectives may be missing. These skills are especially important when AI is used to describe people, places or cultures. Young people’s knowledge of their own languages and communities can help them identify what an AI-generated response overlooks.
ASDO welcomes exchanges with libraries, youth organizations and community centers interested in adapting the BiblioTech approach to their local context. In addition, it seeks to connect young people across countries through shared projects.
ASDO thanks the North-South Centre of the Council of Europe for the opportunity to share its experience and learn from other participants.
