she.grows France & Italy

In 2020 we took our partnership with YouTube Music in Europe to new heights.

Inspired by our collaboration with YouTube Music at MEETSSS, she.grows France & Italy recruited a total of 48 participants: 24 mentees in France and Italy, and a mix of 24 local and international mentors as part of a 6-month programme.

During this time, mentors and mentees will take part in monthly 1to1 meetings, webinars, community sessions and other activities designed to supercharge their career. In addition, participants were awarded free membership access to the international shesaid.so community as well as other resources to help them make the most of their mentoring experience.

she.grows France & Italy is due to end in December 2020.

we.grow: Keychange 2020

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.
