Urban Expeditio: Transforming education into an AI-driven adventure
Being standstill is not an option in the rapidly changing landscape of school and adult education nowadays. This is precisely where Urban Expeditio comes in: The Erasmus+ project changes traditional education by integrating Adventure Learning with Artificial Intelligence (AI) to create vibrant learning experiences in the real world. A bold invitation to urban expedition officers, practitioners, teachers of secondary schools, adult education instructors:
👉 Let's move learning away from the textbooks into an adventure that fits today's (and tomorrow's) learners and their needs.
What is Urban Expeditio?
Urban Expeditio (Project No. 2024-1-PL01-KA220-SCH-000252280) is a European partnership linking schools and educational organisations throughout Poland, Greece, Italy, Slovenia, Serbia, and Turkey.The project blends two forces, firstly adventure learning: an educational approach that links the student with challenges in the real world to encourage critical inquiry, teamwork, and problem-solving and secondly, AI Tools and Methodologies to empower trainers to make learning more personalised, interactive and reflective of real-world digital experiences.
Through this combination, Urban Expeditio is offering accessible resources and practical tools to support educators wishing to upgrade their teaching style and re-engage learners through reality-based exploratory learning.
Why Adventure Learning + AI?Adventure Learning nurtures a spirit of exploration, addressing real-world problems, confronting challenges, and working together toward solutions, this is just the kind of skills needed for the future. On the other hand, AI is increasingly finding its way into nearly every part of life, from personalised content to decision support systems. Urban Expeditio perceives the training of young and adult citizens to engage with AI tools while maneuvering through real-world challenges as more than necessary; it sees it as essential.
So the project:
- Introduces AI-assisted learning paths where students and trainers tackle real challenges supported by AI-based tools.
- Encourages experiential, inquiry-driven learning, making the training process one of action rather than passivity.
- Prepares educators to apply AI in a context-sensitive and creative way in the classroom and beyond.

Urban Expeditio in Action
In February 2025, the partners kicked off the project with a vibrant meeting in Warsaw, Poland, setting the foundations for:
Piloting the first Adventure Learning and AI-based activities in schools
Creating the Urban Expeditio Academy and Handbook
Preparing the first Train-the-Trainer sessions, set to take place in Slovenia later this year
Already, the project’s Facebook page is alive with updates and inspiration from the international community driving this educational revolution.
