On 22 June, a live Twitter chat was organised by the Erasmus+ Virtual Exchange project. The open, live discussion was hosted on the @EUErasmusPlus account.

It also provided a space to reflect on the impact of COVID-19 on global online learning, engaging key influencers who share Erasmus+ Virtual Exchnage values.

The conversation was rich and lively, generating more than 3,600 engagements, including over 395 replies and 734 re-tweets. Using this interactive space, participants generated quality content around the importance of the project, shared their experiences with Virtual Exchange and their hopes for the future.
