In this UniCollaboration Plenary Session, Rodrigo Ballester, a cabinet member of the Commissioner of Education and Culture in the European Commission, presented on virtual exchanges. Virtual exchanges can serve many different purposes. They can be intercultural dialogues, languages, digital skills, teacher training, and soft skills, etc. He then speaks of the recent history of education in Europe and the Erasmus program, a virtual exchange. While he was mostly positive of Erasmus, he did find some criticism for it, such as not enough virtual exchanges in rural areas and not to forget intra-cohesion. He ended the session with a question and answer period. (ERIC)
