On March 15, the European Commission officially launched the Erasmus+ Virtual Exchange, which is\u00a0is part of the\u00a0Erasmus+ programme<\/a>,\u00a0providing an accessible, ground-breaking way for young people to engage in intercultural learning. Working with Youth Organisations and Universities, the programme is open to any young person aged 18-30 residing in Europe and the Southern Mediterranean.<\/p>\n

This flagship programme is established under a contract with the\u00a0Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency<\/a>, financed by the European Union\u2019s budget,\u00a0and it is implemented by a consortium composed of\u00a0Search for Common Ground<\/a>,\u00a0Anna Lindh Foundation<\/a>,\u00a0UNIMED<\/a>,\u00a0Sharing Perspectives Foundation<\/a>,\u00a0Soliya<\/a>, Kiron Open Higher Education<\/a>, and\u00a0Migration Matters<\/a> and\u00a0UNICollaboration!<\/a><\/p>\n

Click here<\/a> to see the website on the European Youth Portal and here<\/a> to see the press release where Commissioner for Education, Culture, Youth and Sport, Tibor Navracsics states:<\/p>\n

“While a very successful programme, Erasmus+ is not always accessible to everyone. Through Erasmus+ Virtual Exchange we will facilitate more contacts between people, reach youth from different social backgrounds and promote intercultural understanding. This online tool will connect more young people from the EU with their peers from other countries; it will build bridges and help develop skills such as critical thinking, media literacy, foreign languages and teamwork.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
