  With some telescopes standing still, now more than ever simple access to
archival data is vital for astronomers and they need to know how to go about
it. Within European Virtual Observatory (VO) projects, such as AIDA
(2008-2010), ICE (2010-2012), CoSADIE (2013-2015), ASTERICS (2015-2018) and
ESCAPE (since 2019), we have been offering Virtual Observatory schools for many
years. The aim of these schools are twofold: teaching (early career)
researchers about the functionalities and possibilities within the Virtual
Observatory and collecting feedback from the astronomical community. In
addition to the VO schools on the European level, different national teams have
also put effort into VO dissemination. The team at the Centre de Donn\'ees
astronomiques de Strasbourg (CDS) started to explore more and new ways to
interact with the community: a series of blog posts on AstroBetter.com or a
lunch time session at the virtual EAS meeting 2020. The Spanish VO has
conducted virtual VO schools. GAVO has supported online archive workshops and
maintains their Virtual Observatory Text Treasures. In this paper, we present
the different formats in more detail, and report on the resulting interaction
with the community as well as the estimated reach.
