About the Consortium

The Consortium of Virtual Exchange (CoVE) was set up at a joint meeting of the Country Coordinators of the ProGlobe and the Building Bridges Across Continents (BBAC) projects held on the 8 May 2020. This meeting was preceded by earlier meetings in Sankt Augustin, Germany on 20 February 2020. During these meetings, members discussed the possibility of setting up a Virtual Exchange Consortium with Coordinators from Canada, Ghana, Germany, Portugal, Kenya and the USA as founding members. They unanimously agreed to start the Consortium. The Consortium has grown since then, and is delighted to welcome China as a member since 2024.
