Organizations involved

THE PROJECT eve SUPPORTS TWO OPPORTUNITIES:

  • ‘Ready mal exchade’ virtuanges
  • TEPs (Transnational Erasmus + Virtual Exchange Projects)
'Ready-made' Virtual Exchange Opportunities

'Ready-made' virtual exchanges are, as the name implies, exchange packages which can be integrated into courses or stand alone as an opportunity for students from many different disciplines. They are easier to work with compared to a teacher designed TEP and aimed at developing intercultural communicative competence and promoting internationalisation without a particular exchange partner in mind.

Teacher-designed TEPs

Transnational ErasmusVirtual Exchange Projects (TEPs) can be developed with the training and support of UNICollaboration. TEPs can be around the development of skills (e.g. photography, citizen journalism, foreign languages), contemporary issues (e.g. the environment, activism, migration) or subject-specific curricula (e.g. artificial intelligence, child development, immigration law) to view the course content from different perspectives adding an international and intercultural dimension. TEPs are designed to engage young people skills in addition to enriching their understanding of course content.in sustained interaction with peers across the Mediterranean and to foster the development of participants’ language and communication skills, digital literacies, team-working, and problem-solving.
