Consulting: Selected interdisciplinary or industry-specific lecturers offered individual consultations for all participants at the four cities. The focus was on feedback for submitted application documents and portfolios. In addition, advisors from associations and counselling centers who are qualified for the specific needs of refugees were requested. The goal was the individual competence development regarding their positioning on the market based on their application documents and personal objectives.
Modules: The Artist Training already had four years of experience with modularized continuing education in cooperation with the Film University Babelsberg. Two further modules therefore invited partners. The practice modules in Film and Fine Arts were conceptualized by an industry expert and an artist in exile together. The in-depth offer was initially aimed exclusively at the target group from the individual sectors. The objective was to get into the creative industries through application-oriented learning and to position oneself strategically in Berlin. A maximum of fifteen participants were accepted per module. To ensure a cohesive group, the selection was made by the module management.
Excursions: The excursions taook place in addition to the four workshop days and were led by experts and multipliers in the local music, visual, performing arts, and film scenes.
