Virtual Educa is a multilateral cooperation initiative in the area of innovation applied to education and professional training for human development and social inclusion.
Virtual Educa encourages innovation in education and training as a mechanism for favoring inclusion, boosting competitiveness, and achieving a higher level of development, with special emphasis on Latin America and the Caribbean.
Virtual Educa organizes activities and collaborative spaces to promote, debate, share, and exchange ideas to improve education using the information and communication technologies (ICT).
Since its inception, one of Virtual Educa main objectives has been the organization of an annual international conference on education, innovation and ICT, known as the ‘Virtual Educa Symposium’. The idea behind it was to create a specific gathering that would contribute to cooperation, collaboration, and the exchange of experiences and ideas on the realities and challenges of OAS member states in the field of education and continuing education, using ICT from a multi-disciplinary and multi-sectorial point of view.
