New cycle of the programme "Creative Mentorship"

“Creative Mentorship” is unique mentorship program in Serbia that provides opportunities for personal and professional development of upcoming leaders working in the field of culture. It aims to promote mentorship as a method of lifelong learning and exchange of knowledge and experience between established professionals, mentors, and emerging professionals, mentees.

Year by year, we want to build, gather and support a community of motivated, open-minded, and socially responsible individuals who will contribute to the development of our society based on creativity, knowledge and sharing.
