The poster “CLUVEX and UNAVEX Virtual Exchanges as a Tool for Education of Young Generation” to be presented at the Atmosphere and Climate Competence Centre (ACCC; www.acccflagship.fi) – Finish Atmospheric Sciences Network (FASN) Annual Science Conference, which will take place during 10-12 November 2025 in Helsinki, Finland.
Traditional concept of on-site education is changing. Alongside traditional teaching, distance education is increasingly becoming available. Virtual Exchange (VE) is a tool with which students’ interest in distance education can be increased and the element of interaction can be added. The University of Helsinki (UHel) is currently coordinating two European Union ERASMUS+ VE projects. The Climate University for Virtual Exchanges (CLUVEX, 2023-2026; www.atm.helsinki.fi/cluvex) and The UnaEuropa for Virtual Exchanges (UnaVEx, 2024-2027; www.atm.helsinki.fi/unavex) projects are currently implemented during 2023-2026. The projects focus on the challenges of climate change and sustainable development. The goal of these projects is to bring a total up to 5000 university students to VEs within three years. The projects support the continuation of studies in the subject area through existing MOOCs. The CLUVEX project is based on the Climate University (CU, climateuniversity.fi) MOOCs, developed and coordinated by UHel while the UnaVEx project is based on sustainable development MOOC of the UnaEuropa network (www.una-europa.eu). UHel together with the projects’ partners from Europe, Europe Neighbourhood East (e.g., Ukraine, Armenia), and Africa (e.g., South Africa, Republic of Congo, and Kenya) are developing and researching the VE concept as a part of distance learning.
