Project Description 

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. We believe that by working together, sharing insights, and learning from each other, we can achieve greater impact than any of us could alone. Our project is built on a foundation of mutual respect, open communication, and a shared commitment of empowering the target group and make them more active in civic participation.

Mission and Goals:

The primary goal is to empower the youth with the skills, knowledge, and a sense of identity that will not only make them active citizens but also boost their employability prospects.
In particular, the VirtuEu project aims 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.
