Music Estonia mentoring sessions
Music Estonia mentoring sessions – a good combination of learning and networking. If you have questions in mind or ideas you want to reflect on and you find the right person with similar experiences from our list of mentors, sign up for our mentoring sessions. These small group sessions with up to 7 participants and a mentor, are a great way to get some advice on your own matters and also hear and learn from your peers.
Music Estonia presents a rich choice of sessions covering topics like management & career development, branding, building a live career and more, by a diverse line up of professionals.
How it works
- Pick the sessions you like.
- Fill the application form that asks for your name, email, basic bio points, a few sentences about your motivation to participate and – most importantly – up to 3 questions that you would like the mentor to address! These will be forwarded to the mentor in advance.
- Wait for a confirmation email.
- Selected participants should arrive in the room 5 minutes ahead of time. All of the sessions take place in room Miitsar at Nordic Hotel Forum. Assume a relaxed and yet proactive attitude and ask your questions in the session. This is an informal discussion and very much led by what the participants are interested in – use it!
