Erasmus+ Virtual Exchange (EVE) was a pilot project, run by the European Commission from 2018 to 2020. EVE provided an accessible, ground-breaking way for young people to engage in intercultural learning experiences online through a range of activities. EVE expanded the scope of the Erasmus+ programme through online collaborative learning activities known as Virtual Exchanges (VE) and training programmes. Virtual Exchange is defined as technology-enabled people-to-people educational programming, facilitated and sustained over a period of time1. Working with youth organisations and universities, the project was open to any young person aged 18-30 residing in Europe and the Southern Mediterranean2, with a target of 25,000 participants engaged by December 2020.
