UEF exchange concept - partnership proposal

Building a practical European mobility benefit and connection platform for UEF members across all national sections

✓

Status today

• UEF France has developed a draft partnership concept with a European home swapping platform
• The proposed scope is a dedicated UEF tag / club within the platform allowing easy member identification on a map and direct messaging
• UEF members would be able to find each other, communicate directly with the platform and also share and swap homes with other members of the platform
• The initiative is now ready to be discussed and co-built with interested national sections

Current platform access &

messaging are free of charge

Context

Original need: members willingness to connect with UEF peers in France and abroad

​

Main issues: lack of visibility on other UEF members’ location and wishes, accommodation cost in Europe

​

Project objectives: create a dedicated UEF community in a third-party home exchange platform to:

• Strengthen cross-border connections, twinning and horizontal communication across the network
• Reinforce community feeling / shared sense of belonging across Europe and in the association
• Make accommodation during UEF events and members’ gatherings / meetings more affordable
