A qualification programme for artistic collectives in exile

The project ARTIST TRAINING is a qualification programme offered by the UdK Berlin Career College in cooperation with Filmuniverstität Babelsberg aiming at the qualification, consulting, and networking of artists in exile. The goals are networking with the Berlin cultural and creative industries by getting to know the institutions and their employees, the establishment on the Berlin labour market and the strategic positioning in the respective artistic orientation.

The new project Artist Training ARTISTIC COLLECTIVES is a qualification programme for five artist collectives from the sectors of music, fine arts, performing arts, film, and an interdisciplinary working group. Artist Training offers a support for five months with a full programme: a training unit consisting of 30 hours with monthly workshops according to individual goals, two individual consultations, the presentation of artistic work at a venue and the exchange among all groups. In addition, the Digital BASICS convey basic topics of self-employment with two hours of online teaching and 12 hours of in-depth workshops.

Artist Training FILM COLLECTIVES III is supervised by Henner Winckler & Jalal Maghout.

Open Call for the third edition is closed: 1 May to 21 May 2021 here.
