COILectiVE NL

Within the community, participants share knowledge and experiences and work together to improve the quality and embedding of international and intercultural competences in the curriculum.

COILectiVE NL is a collaboration between Dutch vocational and higher education institutions, supported by Nuffic.

COIL VE is a form of education in which students and teachers collaborate internationally on projects online. In this way, they develop international, intercultural and digital skills within an international learning environment. As such, COIL VE also serves as a practical implementation of Internationalisation at Home (IaH).
