  • Encouraging open dialogue and knowledge sharing during the shadowing experiences, creating a supportive learning environment

Online & offline discussions

  • Collaborating with our consortium partners, cultural professionals, festival organizers, and electronic music experts to organize webinars and panel discussions 
  • These sessions will provide a platform for industry professionals to share their experiences, insights, and expertise with a wider audience.
