Movetia is the national agency for exchanges and mobility. Mandated by 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 meaningful experience in another linguistic or cultural region during their education.

We thus contribute to the development of the Swiss educational space, networked, diverse and future-oriented.
