SERIES’ WOMEN prvi je program za unaprjeđivanje karijera producentica u europskoj industriji dramskih serija, koji se provodi od 2021. godine.
Ovaj jedinstveni program kombinira praktičnu obuku, individualno mentorstvo i izravan pristup industriji. Sudionice će sudjelovati na stručnim sesijama o vidljivosti, liderstvu i digitalnom poduzetništvu te će imati pristup personaliziranom mentorstvu i pitching coachingu prilagođenom njihovim profesionalnim ciljevima. SERIES’ WOMEN također povezuje sudionice s ključnim akterima industrije putem ekskluzivnih mogućnosti umrežavanja na glavnim europskim tržištima – pružajući alate, samopouzdanje i kontakte za podizanje karijere na novu razinu.
Podržavajući izvanredne producentice i osnažujući projekte koje vode žene, SERIES’ WOMEN aktivno doprinosi boljoj zastupljenosti, izgradnji snažnih profesionalnih mreža i isticanju raznolikih glasova u europskoj audiovizualnoj industriji.
Sudionice će tijekom programa razviti specifične vještine za profesionalno napredovanje, poticanje uspjeha i izgradnju otpornosti. Steći će ažuran uvid u europsku industriju dramskih serija te pristup inovativnim online tečajevima EPI-ja o temama kao što su pregovaranje i pitching.
