How Virtual Exchange helps

Virtual exchange uses technology, curricula, and facilitation to give young people around the world the opportunity to learn and work together. Virtual exchange programs already connect thousands of young people across the United States and around the world, in primary and secondary education as well as in higher education. Educators and other facilitators use a wide variety of tech tools and address many subjects through their programs. Virtual exchange is cost-effective, scalable, and uniquely capable of reaching populations that are not otherwise reached by in-person exchange programs.
