Please note: This does not apply for our Online Academies taking place in 2021 and in January 2022.
For face-to-face events: Participants of the Intercultural Trainer Academy are responsible for booking their own accommodation.
In the following, you will find a list of recommendations for accommodation to consider for your stay for the duration of the Intercultural Trainer Academy in summer as well as some useful information on HVV, the public transportation system in Hamburg. Due to the uncertainty around the COVID-19 pandemic, we strongly recommend to only book your accommodation once we confirm that the event can take place face-to-face.
