This month is packed with good news!
The online training
The 40 Village Hosts that were selected out of 162 applicants took part in the online training on platform.villagehosts.eu.
Through theoretical, practical and peer-to-peer sessions, they reflected on their projects and pushed them forward.
If you missed this chance, you still can subscribe to the online platform and benefit from the contents and network with other village hosts!
