In October the VIC team met in Padova to finalise the training offer and to plan the national pilots.
The piloting period will be inaugurated with national workshops organised by the partner organisations. These workshops will serve to introduce the VIC idea and the approach, on the one hand, and to demonstrate the e-learning platform and some practical activities, on the other hand. The e-learning modules are available in English, French, Italien, and German. The Greek participants will work on the English version of the platform. Greek will be made available in summer 2019.
If you are interested in participating in one of the workshops, please contact the partner organisation of your country.
