VirtuEU - Virtual Exchanges of Active Citizens

Scientific Research Project

On going

What is VirtuEU about?

VirtuEu is a Virtual Exchange program that unites young people across borders, ensuring inclusivity by overcoming barriers that might hinder participation. It aims to engage over 2.500 students of HEIs (Higher Education Institutions) from EU State Members and Western Balkan Countries in activities that will promote active citizenship and civic participation. It relies on the idea that by working together, sharing insights, and learning from each other, a greater impact can be achieved greater than by working alone. VirtuEU is built on a foundation of mutual respect, open communication, and a shared commitment to empowering the target groups and making them more active in civic participation.

Objectives

The project seeks to:

increase the participation levels of young people in the partners’ countries
provide young people with opportunities and means to express themselves and their opinions, become active and contribute to the community
provide new teaching and learning approaches, within the framework of virtual education and training
