The ‘Vienna Goes Brussels’ school exchange programme launched by the Board of Education for Vienna

The Erasmus+ project ‘Vienna goes Brussels’ began on 5 October 2023 and prepared the way for a further eight school partnerships.
30 Viennese teachers, head teachers and education quality managers met with colleagues from the “GO! Scholengroep” in Brussels.
At the kick-off in Brussels Wien Haus, there was unanimous agreement about the need for European exchange and civic competences across borders. That is why ‘Vienna goes Brussels’ will enable around 200 Viennese pupils during the 2023/24 academic year to take part in exchange projects with classes in Brussels and visit European institutions. The first class visited the Belgian capital at the beginning of November. Others will follow. Travel will be by environmental-friendly night train.
