| Abstract: | The advancement of information technology has catalyzed the emergence of virtual exchanges, offering an alternative avenue for cross-cultural engagement without the necessity of physical travel abroad. This development suggests that virtual exchanges can reduce barriers to female participation while enhancing their proficiency in intercultural, inter-linguistic, and interreligious engagement. This paper examines the design of a virtual exchange program linking UK Christians with Egyptian Muslims, structured around the framework of scriptural reasoning (SR). A focal point of our investigation lies in the experiences of female participants, who constituted the majority of the Egyptian cohort, illuminating how the practice of SR aptly facilitated their progression in both competence and self-assurance. |
