Study: The Role of Mentoring
Within the music sector and the world of entrepreneurship, gendered barriers make it difficult for both female music professionals and entrepreneurs to develop their careers, inflicting a double penalty: in addition to the difficulties encountered in a male-dominated music world, female entrepreneurs face challenges in creating their professional projects. In the face of these difficulties, participation in the MEWEM Europa program appears to be an indispensable opportunity to be accompanied by women who share the same experiences and who are invaluable for their career development. This report proposes to highlight the impact of mentoring on the career paths of the participants in the MEWEM Europa program.
White Paper
Aimed at institutions and organisations engaged in the fight against the under-representation of women in the music industry, this white paper aims to open a dialogue. MEWEM Europa, the premier mentoring programme for women in music, can and should grow. The whole team is ready to mobilise to support new partners in the transposition of the programme.
