Short description

Virtual exchanges are online people-to-people activities that promote intercultural dialogue and soft skills development. They make it possible for every young person to access high-quality international and cross-cultural education (both formal and non-formal) without physical mobility.

While virtual debating or training does not fully replace the benefits of physical mobility, participants in virtual exchanges ought to reap a number of the benefits of international educational experiences.Virtual exchanges also help spreading European values.

Moreover, in some cases they can prepare, deepen and extend physical exchanges, as well as fuel new demand for them.

Is your organisation interested in setting up high- quality, virtual, non-formal learning opportunities for young people, which are led by a trained facilitator, to achieved pre-defined learning outcomes ?
