The 2011 EGIN Annual Meeting in Valencia emphasized the importance of experience exchange in education. Key statements highlighted the flexibility gained by students involved in exchange activities and the necessity of learning through direct cultural exposure. Discussions underscored that teacher exchanges could have a more profound impact than student exchanges, and advocated for making exchange a priority in vocational education training (VET). The meeting concluded with a call for trade unions to support domestic work placements for foreign students, integrating social competencies in training.
