The program will include four mentoring courses and a final competition for participants. After that, we will provide financial support in the amount of 8000€ to Ukrainian photographers who will create projects related to the theme of war. First of all, we support authors who do not have constant access to software and resources, giving them an additional opportunity to continue their work.
Mentoring is a source of practical knowledge, ongoing support and a personal approach.
We know from our own experience that young photographers need to have comprehensive feedback, be in touch with colleagues from the field, receive recommendations, support and motivation from a person with expertise.
Each of our mentors is a practitioner with extensive experience and special specialization. Mentoring is designed to help you develop and take the next steps in the profession.
The time of group meetings is distributed among all participants. The mentor will analyze the work, give feedback and recommendations for the further development of each participant personally. In a group, you will be able to exchange ideas with colleagues and learn from their experiences.
The curator will focus on issues that are relevant to you: whether searching for a topic, forming and working on long-term projects or practical recommendations for working with the image, your positioning and career.
Mentoring will help you focus, analyze the previous and determine the next steps in the work, and regular discussions will be a powerful incentive.
