Training and Expected Commitment
Selected participants will take part in the VirtuallyEDU 2.0 Train-theTrainer Programme, combining live online training with asynchronous learning activities.
The programme includes four live online training sessions of 2–3 hours each, covering ethical AI, intercultural and critical dialogue, digital engagement, and practical facilitation techniques for Virtual Exchanges.
Participants will also complete asynchronous activities through the project’s MOOC platform, including discussions, reflection activities, short quizzes, and collaborative exercises.
