Implementation of SWITCH Project’s Info Days by Partners Across Europe and the Western Balkans

Switch

The SWITCH project is paving the way for innovative digital education and intercultural exchange by organizing Info Days across several European and Western Balkan countries. This initiative is part of the broader goal to promote digital, intercultural, and educational integration through virtual and blended exchange activities among youth, educators, and organizations. These Info Days, held by SWITCH’s international partners, introduce local audiences to the project’s objectives, methodologies, and opportunities for participation, focusing on accessibility, skills development, and intercultural dialogue.

The Info Days were implemented by each of the project’s six partners in their respective countries. These partners and countries include:

  1. EIA – Ensino e Investigação e Administração SA in Portugal: As the project coordinator, EIA led initiatives to outline the project’s scope in intercultural and digital education for Portuguese audiences, emphasizing the advantages of virtual exchange for students and educators alike.

  2. Asociación Cultural Integra in Spain: This partner organized Info Days to engage Spanish youth and educational communities, promoting the benefits of virtual mobility and the chance to bridge cultural gaps with youth in the Western Balkans.

  3. NGO Integritet in Montenegro: Focused on integrating Montenegro’s youth, NGO Integritet hosted events to inform participants about SWITCH’s aims of fostering intercultural communication and improving digital competencies through virtual spaces.

  4. University College “Beder” in Albania: In Albania, Beder University College connected local youth to the broader European community through Info Days, discussing topics such as intercultural dialogue, digital skill-building, and the importance of digital literacy.

  5. European Community Studies Association (ECSA) Kosova in Kosovo: ECSA Kosova’s events targeted young Kosovars, showcasing SWITCH as a platform for enhancing their professional and intercultural skills while increasing understanding of European values.

  6. Stichting yUEth in The Netherlands: The Dutch partner, Stichting yEUth, held Info Days to introduce the project to Dutch audiences, underlining the impact of intercultural exchange and digital learning on the personal and professional growth of young people.

The Info Days provided a space for local communities in each country to learn about SWITCH, engage in dialogue, and explore the pathways the project offers for digital and cultural skills enhancement. By tailoring each event to the cultural context of each partner’s country, SWITCH ensures that the initiative’s virtual exchange and intercultural dialogue goals reach a broad and diverse audience across Europe and the Western Balkans.
