NICE Virtual Exchange Handbook

Now that the first two cycles of the NICE programme have finished, the NICE Consortium has written a handbook for anyone else interested in establishing a virtual exchange programme. Our handbook provides a step-by-step guide to helping you start a virtual exchange programme. You will have access to all the resources we created throughout the programme along with guides outlining how we created a physical summer school in 2019 and a virtual summer school in 2020, as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our handbook is a comprehensive and interesting read that will provide you with the guidance you need to understand and implement virtual exchange, to perhaps start your own programme utilising some of the aspects of the NICE programme! We have three different versions of our handbook available; the full virtual version of the handbook, which is interactive - we would recommend that you start with that. In addition, we’ve also written an accessible version, which is our full resource in plain text form, and the printable version of the handbook for those of you who wish to print and read our handbook in paper form. You can read and download any of the three versions of our handbook by clicking the relevant button below.
