The presentation “SOFT-SKILLS DEVELOPMENT FOR VE LEARNING: EXPERIENCE OF THE CLUVEX PROJECT ERASMUS+ PROGRAMME” to be presented at International scientific and practical conference entitled “Geography, Cartography, and Geographic Education: History, Methodology, Practice”, which will take place during 31 October – 2 November 2025 at Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University, Chernivtsi, Ukraine (https://www.chnu.edu.ua/).
Virtual exchange (VE) is a modern pedagogical approach that promotes interaction and collaboration between students separated by distance or cultural differences. Although the role of VE is expected to grow in the future, there are certain risks associated with student motivation and engagement in fully virtual learning environments. The CLUVEX (Climate University for Virtual Exchange) project (July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2026) is funded by the European Commission (Erasmus+ program). The project focuses on thematic areas such as climate change, climate action, environmental protection, and green skills, and aims to develop climate competencies among university students at the bachelor’s, master’s, doctoral, and postdoctoral levels. The CLUVEX project aims to organize five Virtual Exchange Weeks for students. An important part of the CLUVEX initiative is the training of moderators and the development of soft skills that promote interactive learning, student engagement, and knowledge sharing in a VE environment. This thesis presents the CLUVEX project’s experience in developing soft skills for virtual exchange learning.
