Erasmus+ Virtual Exchange is part of the Erasmus+ programme, providing an accessible,
ground-breaking way for young people to engage in intercultural learning. Erasmus+ Virtual
Exchange offers a safe online community to participate in facilitated discussions, increasing
intercultural awareness and building 21st century skills through virtual exchange.
Erasmus+ Virtual Exchange also offers training for educators to develop
and integrate their own Virtual Exchange programmes. Scan the code for
more information.
Under this programme, Virtual Exchange distinguishes itself from other forms of online learning
in several ways:
➜
➜
➜
➜
The focus is primarily on people-to-people interaction and dialogue, whereas the
emphasis of many other e-learning programmes is on the content.
The learning goals or outcomes include soft skills that are often not formally recognized,
such as the development of intercultural awareness, digital literacies, and
group work.
It is primarily learner-led: following the philosophy of dialogue where participants are
the main recipients and the main drivers of knowledge; learning through dialogue
means that participants will be seeking mutual understanding and co-creating knowledge,
based on their own experiences.
Finally, a key tenet of Virtual Exchange is that intercultural understanding and awareness
are not automatic outcomes of contact between different groups/cultures, and
virtual exchange programmes explicitly address intercultural understanding and
engaging with difference.
Manual for digital and ICT tools created by SEEYN and TASCO provides an
overview of tools commonly used by civil society organizations. Each
includes a brief description, the purpose and the instructions, with additional
resources to be explored for further learning.
The manual targets two levels in English, B/H/S and Albanian languages:
➜
➜
Internal: Practical use of digital tools in teamwork and organisational management
(communication, coordination, planning, monitoring, overall management of human
resources and tasks), especially for local CSOs and grass-roots;
External: Using digital tools for online training and learning activities, promotion and
campaigning, direct online work with beneficiaries, especially for high-capacity CSOs,
CSOs working in emergency response, social service providers, regional networks, national
resource centres, and similar.
