Movetia is the national agency for exchanges and mobility. At the request of the Confederation and the cantons, we promote exchange, mobility and cooperation activities at all levels of education - in Switzerland, Europe and worldwide.

Our vision: all young people should have a memorable experience in another linguistic or cultural region during their education. Because exchanges broaden perspectives, strengthen social cohesion and foster key skills for the future such as critical thinking, creativity, autonomy, open-mindedness and intercultural understanding. We thus contribute to the development of the Swiss education area - interconnected, diverse and future-oriented.
