More Information:

It takes an average of one day to host the first e-VELP workshop. If you have previous experience in organising and hosting similar workshops, or if you have an active community who is interested to learn the topic offered by the VE, then your time investment in organising the workshop will be shorter. In the same way, in case you have no previous experience, you may need to invest more time in order to organise a quality workshop.

For example, if you are a cultural centre you can host a VE workshop on presenting new cultures and languages with very low time investment. If you are an IT institute and you already have students and an active community of learners in the field of IT, you can also host a TeachSurfing workshop for your community with low time investment.
