Since the first large-scale International Virtual Exchange Project (IVEProject) in 2015, with the help of Japanese government Kaken grants (initially) and more recently the self-funding style they have adopted, the IVEProject has been achieving its goals of bringing the students of the world together in Virtual Exchange. In doing so, students improve their language and intercultural understanding. Now with over 10,000 participants, this huge project has benefited groups of students tremendously around the globe.
