EU-UA Virtual
Mobility Programme

Cooking Resilience

What is Virtual Mobility?

Virtual mobility is an international learning experience that enables participants from different countries to collaborate, learn and exchange knowledge through digital technologies, without the need for physical travel.

Within the European education and training framework, virtual mobility promotes intercultural dialogue, collaborative learning and the development of professional competences by bringing together participants from different institutions and countries in shared educational activities.

Through online workshops, collaborative projects, peer-learning activities and digital communities, participants gain international experience while overcoming geographical, financial or accessibility barriers. Virtual mobility complements traditional physical mobility by making international cooperation more inclusive, flexible and sustainable.

The Cooking Resilience
Virtual Mobility Programme

The EU-UA Virtual Mobility Programme builds on this European approach by creating opportunities for Culinary VET professionals from Ukraine and Europe to learn from one another through structured online collaboration.

The programme connects teachers, in-company trainers and other VET professionals in a shared international learning environment where they can exchange innovative teaching practices, discuss common challenges and jointly explore new approaches to excellence in Culinary VET.

By combining professional networking, peer learning and collaborative activities, the programme contributes to strengthening educational quality, supporting Ukraine’s resilience and fostering long-term cooperation between European and Ukrainian VET institutions.

  • Strengthen cooperation between Ukrainian and European Culinary VET institutions;
  • Promote excellence and innovation in Culinary VET;
