What is Virtual Exchange?

Virtual Exchange (VE) programs allow young people to engage with peers worldwide on issues that matter to them, helping them prepare to thrive in an increasingly diverse and globalized workforce.

These cross-cultural exchange and educational experiences come in many forms, so it's important to invest time in researching different options to find the best fit for your participants.

Pick the right program

To identify the best program for your class, students or youth group, consider your objectives and the type of program that would align best with your learning outcomes.

Here are 5 key considerations to guide your selection:

  • Promote the program well

    Share information about the program early on, including what participants can expect from the experience. Set clear expectations for participation and outline the academic and professional benefits of active involvement. Provide an overview of how the program fits into your coursework and aligns with your course objectives.
