How it works
Social Circles are short dialogue exchange opportunities, bringing together young people from various backgrounds, interested to participate in a series of online small group discussions about key issues that matter to youth in the world today.
This activity takes two weeks in total, including 2 online live group meetings, activities and assignments. The live online sessions are led by trained online dialogue facilitators and take 2-hours each. Here participants will get to know each other and discuss the theme of the Social Circle.
Participants
This opportunity is open to all individuals aged 18-30 currently residing in Europe and the Southern Mediterranean. Participation is free of charge and you don’t need prior experience with Virtual Exchange. Eligible individuals that want to take part can apply independently. They can apply to join as many topical Social Circles as they want, or just try it once to get a taste of virtual exchange. Social Circles, therefore, is a great activity to pilot Erasmus+ Virtual Exchange and can serve as an introduction to other Erasmus+ Virtual Exchange activities.
Apply for one of the Social Circles on the topic you want to learn more about together with youth from all over Europe and the Southern Mediterranean. Join the conversation!
