What is COIL?

COIL, or Collaborative Online International Learning, is an innovative approach to virtual exchange and an essential part of building up a European Campus. It allows educators and students to collaborate internationally in real-time through digital platforms or blended learning formats. The essence of COIL is to engage students in joint project work with their peers from different countries, fostering intercultural learning and global cooperation. COIL provides students with the unique opportunity to connect with diverse cultures, enhancing their educational journey while developing essential skills for the global workforce.
