Keychange commissioned shesaid.so to develop we.grow, a virtual mentoring programme for 74 women and gender minorities as part of its 2020-2021 edition.
Keychange is a pioneering international initiative funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union which transforms the future of music whilst encouraging festivals and music organisations to achieve a 50:50 gender balance by 2022. Each year, the programme selects 74 emerging artists and innovators from across Europe and Canada to take part in international festivals, showcase events, collaborations and a programme of creative labs.
With three of the thirteen partner festivals postponed to later in the year, training sessions have been moved online. we.grow pairs Keychange 2020 participants with each other, as well as with participants from Year 1 of their scheme. Set up as a peer to peer monthly meeting, the programme will help participants to get the most out of their involvement in Keychange, as well as wider career goals and development.
