Weiterbildungszuschüsse
Um die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der Schweizer Filmbranche und die europäische Vernetzung zu fördern, stellt das Bundesamt für Kultur im Rahmen der MEDIA-Ersatzmassnahmen Zuschüsse für die Teilnahme an MEDIA oder MEDIA-Ersatzmassnahmen geförderten Weiterbildungen zur Verfügung.
Aktuelle Deadlines
In unserer aktualisierten Get Trained-Broschüre finden Sie rund 80 Weiterbildungen, die mit Unterstützung von Creative Europe oder der Schweizer MEDIA-Ersatzmassnahmen in ganz Europa angeboten werden. Die Workshops bieten ganz nebenbei exzellente Möglichkeiten zur internationalen Vernetzung.
Schweizer Filmschaffende haben normalerweise zu allen in unserer Broschüre aufgelisteten Veranstaltungen Zugang. Personen mit zusätzlicher Nationalität eines EU- oder Creative Europe-Mitgliedslandes empfehlen wir, diese Nationalität bei der Anmeldung anzugeben. Sollten Sie wegen Ihrer Schweizer Nationalität abgelehnt werden, geben Sie uns bitte bescheid.
Zusammen mit dem Bundesamt für Kultur (BAK) bietet MEDIA Desk Suisse Schweizer Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmern Unterstützungsbeiträge zu den Kosten an. Weitere Infos dazu hier.
